Assessment of hepatic reserve for indication of hepatic resection: decision tree incorporating indocyanine green test

Abstract: Preoperative assessment of liver function and prediction of postoperative remaining functional liver parenchymal mass and reserve is of paramount importance to minimize surgical risk, especially in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the majority of whom have liver cirrhosis as a complication. We have established a decision tree for deciding the safe limit of hepatectomy based on three variables: whether ascites is present, the serum total bilirubin level, and the indocyanine green retention rate at … Show more

“…Indocyanine green (ICG) clearance and ICG retention rate at 15 min (ICG R15) in patients with chronic liver disease are thought to reflect the degree of sinusoidal capillarization, intrahepatic portovenous shunt and alteration in liver blood flow (11)(12)(13) . Thus ICG clearance test has been widely used to assess liver function reserve in patients with chronically reduced hepatic function (hepatitis, cirrhosis), evaluation of liver function in organ donors and recipients and critically ill patients.…”

“…The ICG is detectable in the bile 15 min after injection, with a maximum concentration between 30 min and 2 h after injection, depending on the amount injected. The kinetics of ICG plasma disappearance has been described in previous articles [20,21]. Because of the ICG metabolism, a dynamic test has been used largely to assess hepatic function as well as portal and hepatosplanchnic blood flow [10,22,23].…”

“…These scores should be assessed throughout the patient's admission because rapid deterioration indicates that surgery may not be safe. The value of indocyanine green plasma disappearance rate has been demonstrated in patients with LC undergoing cardiac surgery [19,20] and partial hepatectomy [21] , and it may be useful for assessing liver functional reserve in this scenario.…”
