In hepatectomy for patients with liver cirrhosis or cholestasis, prolonged postoperative hyperbilirubinemia is a troublesome complication and, if uncontrolled, often leads to life-threatening hepatic failure. Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), first identified as the most potent mitogen for primary hepatocytes, has been shown to have multiple biological properties on liver, including mitogenic, antifibrotic, and cytoprotective activities. This study investigated the beneficial effects of a perioperative HGF supply to jaundiced liver after hepatectomy in rats.
