Studies on hepatic blood flow and the rate of Bromsulphalein clearance in dogs with portacaval transposition

Hepatic plasma and blood flows were determined in dogs with modified portacaval transposition. Mean hepatic blood flow was 43 ml. per kilogram per minute, approximately that expected in a normal dog. Similarly, the rate of Bromsulphalein clearance was in the range expected for normal dogs. © 1962
