Oral glucose tolerance test for preoperative assessment of liver function in liver resection

BACKGROUNDS/AIMS We intended to determine the role of the Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), in addition to volumetry, in preoperative assessment of patients undergoing liver resection. METHODS This was a prospective study conducted at a tertiary care hospital, between February 2009 and February 2011. OGTT curve (parabolic/linear), linearity index (LI) and Parenchymal Hepatic Resection Rate ...

Galactose tolerance test of liver function in pulmonary heart disease.

A study of the liver function in pulmonary heart disease (Thomas, Rees, and Saunders, 1965) suggested that galactose was not metabolized normally by the liver, and so the galactose tolerance test was frequently abnormal. The results suggested that the galactose tolerance test could be abnormal before signs of clinical heart failure appeared. It seemed either that hypoxia was a factor causing di...

Prediction of Glucose Tolerance without an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test

Introduction Impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) is diagnosed by a standardized oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). However, the OGTT is laborious, and when not performed, glucose tolerance cannot be determined from fasting samples retrospectively. We tested if glucose tolerance status is reasonably predictable from a combination of demographic, anthropometric, and laboratory data assessed at one ...
