In order to predict the prognosis or complications of portal hypertension in patients with chronic liver disease, it is important to evaluate both hepatic functional reserve and portal circulation. On (99m)Tc-galactosyl human serum albumin ((99m)Tc-GSA) scintigraphy, the index of blood clearance (HH15) and receptor index (LHL15) have been widely used to evaluate the hepatic functional reserve. However, the relationship between these indices and portal circulation is unknown. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between HH15 and LHL15 and portosystemic shunts evaluated with arteriographic portography or esophagogastroduodenoscopy.
