Correlation Between Portal Pressure and Indocyanine Green Retention Rate is Unaffected by the Cause of Cirrhosis: A Prospective Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Accurate estimation of the hepatic functional reserve before liver resection is important to avoid post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF). The aim of the present study was to evaluate the association of indocyanine green retention test with portal pressure by the cause of cirrhosis (non-viral vs. viral) and assessed postoperative outcomes including incidence of PHLF in patients with viral and non-viral cirrhosis.

Methods

The cohort includes 50 consecutive patients with liver cirrhosis scheduled for liver resection for primary liver tumors at the Lausanne University Hospital between 2009 and 2018.

Results

There were 31 patients with non-viral liver cirrhosis (Non-virus group) and 19 with viral liver cirrhosis (virus group). The indocyanine green retention rat
