[The absorptive-excretory function of the liver in patients with mechanical jaundice before and after endobiliary
Abstract:
The authors analyze the character and degree of disturbances of the absorbing-eliminating function of the liver in 156 patients with mechanical jaundice of different etiology. In patients with mechanical jaundice the absorbing-eliminating function of the liver is disturbed at early stages of the disease and these disturbances progress at longer terms of the disease. The restoration of the absorbing-eliminating function of the liver was noted in the process of percutaneous transhepatic drainage of the bile ducts.
