[Liver function in patients with aspirin-induced bronchial asthma]

Biochemical and immunological studies were performed to study hepatic function in 137 patients, out of whom 74 were found to have aspirin-induced bronchial asthma, 23 atopic bronchial asthma, 23 infectious allergic bronchial asthma, 17 chronic persistent hepatitis. Cholestatic and hepatodepressive syndromes and hepatic detoxifying and absorptive-excretory dysfunctions were detected in patients with aspirin-induced bronchial asthma. As aspirin-induced bronchial asthma progresses, the rate of hepatobiliary dysfunctions increases, which undoubtedly plays a prominent role in the development of the disease.
