Abstract
|
|
|
The fact that the plasma level of adrenocortical hormone is, significantly influenced by hepatic function has been advocated by many authors. Impaired hepatic function thus leads too increased plasma level of adrenocortical hormone by impairment of clearance of the hormone in plasma. So postoperative increase of plasma adrenocortical hormone should be considered in´-the view of increased production or decreased removal of the hormone due to postoperative impairment of hepatic function.
In this review, authors investigated pre- & postoperative adrenocortical function in 10 cases of normal liver function and 10 cases of abnormal liver function. The results obtained are as follows:
1) Control values. of plasma adrenocortical hormone. were not significantly different in both groups (p>0.05).
2) The clearance of adrenocortical hormone in plasma was significantly delayed in patients of abnormal hepatic function(p>0.05).
3) Postoperative increase in plasma adrenocortical hormone- tended to be proportional to the degree of impairment of hepatic function. In allergic respiratory diseases, the incidence of the positive skin reactions to fungal extracts were: 27.1% against Candida albicans, 19.3% against Trichoph-yton species, 8.7% against Rhizopus nigricans and 7.5% against Fusarium species.
