Antipyrine metabolic clearance and BSP fractional (K1) clearance relationship in liver disease is the object of this study. 47 patients have been examined (liver cirrhosis: 17, liver disease without cirrhosis: 15, patients with no liver disease: 15). Results are as follows: antipyrine metabolic clearance is significantly lower in patients with cirrhosis; BSP fractional clearance is significantly lower in liver disease with and without cirrhosis; the clearances are significantly linked in liver cirrhosis patients, but not in the other patient groups. The role of liver cell deficiency and blood flow decrease is discussed with result interpretation.
