Liver blood flow measurements obtained from both the liver surface and deep within the parenchyma, were correlated in an effort to assess the usefulness of laser-Doppler flowmetry for non-invasive monitoring of total liver blood flow, the probe being positioned on either the surface or within the liver parenchyma.In 23 Wistar rats and 10 biliary surgery patients, anaesthetized prior to gallbladder removal, liver microcirculation was measured at 4 points on the capsular surface, and consequently at 4 points deep within the parenchyma, using probes connected to a laser-Doppler flowmeter. The findings revealed that laser-Doppler measurements on the liver surface and within the parenchyma were well correlated, as no statistically significant differences were found either in rats or humans. It is concluded that laser- Doppler flowmetry for monitoring of total liver perfusion can be applied either on the capsular surface or within the hepatic parenchyma.

Hemihepatectomy along with portal vein or hepatic artery replacement in dogs was well tolerated, but combined with replacement of both vessels it was lethal because of outflow block and shock. Total liver blood flow should be kept as high as possible during such procedures in man.

SummaryThe influence of changes in liver blood flow on the clearance of rt-PA was studied both in healthy subjects and in a perfused rat liver model. Liver blood flow in healthy subjects was documented indirectly by the clearance of indocyanine green (ICG). Exercise reduced liver blood flow on average by 57% with a 95% confidence interval (95% Cl) ranging from 51% to 62% (n = 5) and increased plasma levels of rt-PA activity (after an i. v. infusion of 18 mg of rt-PA over 120 min) by 119% (95% Cl, 58% - 203%) and rt-PA antigen by 91% (95% Cl, 30% - 140%). In the perfused rat liver model it was shown that halving or doubling of the physiological flow rate of a perfusate, containing rt-PA caused a proportional change in the clearance of rt-PA, while the extraction of rt-PA by the liver remained similar. In conclusion, liver blood flow is a major determinant of the clearance of rt-PA. This may have important implications for dosage of rt-PA in patients with myocardial infarction.
