Abstract
Quantitative measurement of liver function is of importance in the following fields of surgery: pre-operative in general surgery for evaluation of the remaining capacity of a liver which is altered by neoplastic or parenchymatous disease and in liver transplantation to evaluate the function of the transplant.
