| pubmed-article:12125306 | pubmed:abstractText | Indocyanine green (ICG) elimination tests have been repeatedly suggested as an early predictor of graft function in patients with liver transplantation. Conventionally, ICG clearance (ClICG) is measured by a series of blood samples with subsequent laboratory analysis. More recently bedside techniques have become available to measure ICG concentrations in vivo and in addition to ClICG, the plasma disappearance rate of ICG (PDRICG) is increasingly being used. The aim of this study was to assess and to compare the normal time courses of ClICG and PDRICG in liver transplant recipients. | lld:pubmed |
