Evaluation of liver function in organ donors and recipients Fields of Clinical Application All critically patients, especially those with sepsis, acute liver or multi-organ failure, and after multiple trauma Patients with chronically reduced hepatic function (hepatitis, liver cirrhosis) Evaluation of liver function in organ donors and recipients Monitoring of liver function during liver or abdominal surgery (resection, porto-caval shunt) Diagnosis and monitoring of congenital liver failure in children and neonates
Application in Intensive Care More than 50% of surgical ICU patients exhibit reduced PDR accompanied with a higher mortality normal range Sakka S, Meier-Hellmann A: International Journal of Intensive Care, 2002
* Prognosis of Survival in ICU Patients Significantly reduced liver function in non-survivors Non-survivors n= 168 Survivors 45 40 35 30 25 20 15 10 5 ICG-PDR [%/ min] (p< 0.001) * Sakka SG, Meier-Hellmann A: Yearbook of Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine, 2001
Prognosis of Survival in ICU Patients Clear indicator of probability of survival in septic shock (Survivors) (Non-survivors) Conclusion: Increase of reduced ICG elimination during the first 120 hours of septic shock predicts survival, whereas no change or even further decrease of ICG elimination predicts non-survival Kimura S et al: Crit Care Med 2001
Value as Liver Function Test in Intensive Care Higher sensitivity and specificity than bilirubin BILIRUBIN (>33.8) ICG-PDR 20 40 60 80 100 100-Specificity [%] Sensitivity [%] (>15.2) n= 336 p= 0.06 Sakka SG, Meier-Hellmann A: Yearbook of Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine, 2001
Liver Function in Organ Donors Clear borderline for transplantation suitability Wesslau C et al: Transplantology 1994
Application After Liver Transplantation Clear borderline for probability of graft function Jalan R et al: Transplantation 1994
Value as Liver Function Test in Liver Surgery Better correlation with prognosis than laboratory parameters in cirrhotic patients Hemming AW et al: Am J Surg 1992
Value as Liver Function Test in Liver Surgery Correlation between parenchymal cell volume and ICG elimination Hashimoto M and Watanabe G: J Surg Res 2000
Advantages Non-invasive measurement Uses a 4 wavelength near-infra red finger clip sensor and any peripheral or central venous access for injection of ICG-PULSION Quick information Bed-side results are obtained within a few minutes (approx. 6-8 min.). Specific parameters ICG-PULSION elimination is well established for quantification of liver function and has prognostic value Simple application Results not user dependent, up to 10 measurements per 24 hours Time and cost saving Reduces the numbers of laboratory blood/plasma samples
