Aminopyrine breath test was investigated in 268 patients with various liver disease. From the specific activity for six hours after ingestion of a tracer dose the elimination rate in percent per hour is calculated. Comparing to 47 controls the elimination rate is reduced about 20% in patients with chronic persistent hepatitis (49 patients) and fatty liver (84 patients). In 42 patients with chronic active hepatitis the elimination rate is reduced to 48% and in 54 patients with cirrhosis to 64%. Between aminopyrine breath test and indocyaningreen test or cholinesterase and albumin no correlations were found. Aminopyrine breath test is a sensitive, non-invasive test and specific in liver function and therefore useful in the follow up of patients with known liver disease.
