Positivity of paracoagulation tests in a previously studied group of 80 patients with chronic active liver disease did not exceed 5-10% of the cases. In the present study, plasma samples from 20 cases of decompensated liver cirrhosis, assessed by liver biopsy, were investigated by means of agarose cromatography. Fibrinogen related materials were measured immunologically and by Staphylococcal Clumping Test.First appearance of fibrinogen-like materials occurred at earlier fractions in cirrhotic patients in comparison with normal controls. The relative amount of soluble fibrin monomer complexes (SFMC) as referred to total fibrinogen was significantly increased. No correlation was found between the amount of SFMC and the severity of fibrinogen polymerisation defect.Circulating SFMC are therefore present in severe liver cirrhosis. However, DIC may not be the only proposed explanation for this finding.

Before And After

SummaryUsing their own modified method the authors simultaneously examined the blood clearances of 198Au colloid and 131I-Rose Bengal and determined the ratio1. in a group of 11 patients with severe liver cirrhosis, portal hypertension and portosystemic shunts, both before and after artificial portocaval anastomosis, and2. in two patients with thrombosis v. lienalis, excessive splenomegaly and extensive portosystemic shunts before and after splenectomy. Ad 1. In 6 patients 55%) a reduction of the effective liver blood flow occured due to the artificial portosystemic anastomosis; the average decrease was ~ 20%. In 7 patients a significant enlargement of the total splenosystemic flow was observed as a result of the artificial communication.Ad 2. In both patients an increase of the effective liver blood flow occured after splenectomy. The minimal preoperative splenosystemic flow was ~ 0.152 and ~ 0.089 of the circulating blood per minute (expressed by means of kAu).The authors discuss the significance of the kAu and kBR values as well as that of the ratio for the estimation of changes in hepatic and portal haemodynamics.
