Major liver resection results in a high morbidity and mortality, and endotoxin plays a role in post-resection hepatic failure. Severe hepatic failure as seen in hepatitis and cirrhosis may be accompanied by hepatic encephalopathy and is characterized by a typical plasma amino acid pattern reflected by a decreased Fischer ratio. This study was performed to evaluate the plasma amino acid pattern in patients undergoing major liver surgery receiving placebo or the endotoxin-neutralizing agent bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein (rBPI21).
