Estimation of hepatic and portal blood flows by an indicator dilution technique.

Estimation of hepatic and portal blood flows by an indicator dilution technique.

Abstract

Le débit hépatique total (D.H.T.) et le débit de la veine porte (D.V.P.) ont été mesurés chez des chiens en utilisant des courbes de dilution d'un indicateur (C.D.I.) obtenues simultanément au niveau d'une ou deux veines sus-hépatiques et de la branche gauche de la veine porte, après injection d'hématies marquées au Cr51 dans l'artère mésentérique craniale. Il n'existait pas de différence entre les résultats obtenus par les C.D.I. et ceux obtenus simultanément par la mesure des débits de l'artère hépatique et de la veine porte grâce a des débitmètres êlectromagnétiques. Lorsque des C.D.I. ont pu être obtenues simultanément au niveau de deux veines sus-hépatiques différentes, aucune différence n'a été trouvée entre les D.H.T. pairés. Des résultats identiques ont été obtenus chez des animaux où l'artère hépatique avait été ligaturée. Démontrant qu'il existe un mélange uniforme de l'indicateur dans la veine porte et au niveau de la circulation intra-hépatique, ces résultats justifient l'application de la méthode de Stewart-Hamilton. Des résultats préliminaires obtenus chez 13 cirrhotiques lors d'un cathétérisme combiné ombilico-portal et sus-hépatique, indiquent que la fraction portale du D.H.T. (le rapport D.V.P. sur D.H.T.) peut être estimêe par cette méthode. En effet, la perte d'indicateur par des collatérales porto-systémiques, résultant en une surestimation des débits absolus, a lieu avant les prélèvements.

Total hepatic blood flow (T.H.B.F.) and portal blood flow (P.B.F.) were measured in dogs using simultaneous indicator dilution curves (I.D.C.) obtained from one or two hepatic veins and from the left branch of the portal vein, after injection of Cr51 red blood cells into the cranial mesenteric artery. No difference existed when results obtained using I.D.C. were compared with those obtained by simultaneous measurements of hepatic artery and portal blood flows using electromagnetic flowmeters. In experiments where I.D.C. could be obtained simultaneously from two hepatic veins, no difference was shown between paired T.H.B.F. Similar results were found in animals with ligated hepatic artery. These data, demonstrating uniform mixing of the indicator in the portal vein and within the intrahepatic circulation, validate the use of the indicator dilution method in dogs. Preliminary data in 13 cirrhotics undergoing umbilicoportal and hepatic vein catheterizations indicate that the portal fraction of T.H.B.F. (the ratio of P.B.F. over T.H.B.F.) can be estimated by this method. The portal fraction should be reliable since the portosystemic collaterals resulting in loss of indicator (and overestimation of flows) occurred before the sampling sites.
