Effect of food on liver circulation in conscious dog.

Hepatic hemodynamics and the liver oxygen supply-uptake relationship, in response to eating, were investigated in a chronically catheterized conscious dog method. Portal venous pressure was significantly increased after eating, however was within the normal range reported previously. Hepatic venous pressure correlated well with portal venous pressure throughout the experiment, therefore, the pressure gradient of the portal system was unchanged. Hepatic venous oxygen content, correlated well with liver oxygen extraction, was unchanged after eating. Therefore, it is possible to assume that liver oxygen supply-uptake relationship is well maintained during digestion of food.

[Doppler echography in the intraoperative assessment of the liver circulation: an experimental study in swine].

In this experimental study the authors report an experience in the evaluation of hepatic blood flow with intraoperative echo-Doppler during orthotopic liver transplantation and side-to-side or end-to-side portacaval shunt. Doppler ultrasonography studied the flow of portal vein, hepatic artery and inferior vena cava before the recipient hepatectomy, and after reperfusion during liver grafting. Furthermore echo-Doppler of the portal system was performed to confirm portacaval shunt efficacy. Usually intraoperative Doppler ultrasonography may give informations about the patency of the shunt and regarding the development of early hepatic artery thrombosis during liver transplantation, but often unclear is the exact evaluation of the velocity of the blood flow through the liver. Further experimental studies and clinical evaluations need to find safe parameters and markers of vascular alteration using this superior diagnostic procedure.

[Changes in the liver circulation and kidney function during pulsatile and non-pulsatile perfusion].

Pulsatile flow perfusion (PFP) requires smaller volume of additional infusion. Extravascular hyperhydration is more marked after nonpulsatile flow perfusion (NPFP). In NPFP there is an increase in free water clearance, lower urinary osmolality and diuresis rate. PFP prevents urinary hypoosmolality and retains baseline values of free water clearance. No significant differences in Na+ urinary excretion have been revealed. Bilirubinemia level following NPFP was significantly higher than the baseline level, while following PFP the level of total and bound bilirubin remained unchanged. No differences in the total hepatic flow have been observed during pulsatile and nonpulsatile flow perfusion.
