Lactate is Correlated with the Indocyanine Green Elimination Rate in Liver Resection for Cirrhotic Patients

Abstract

In cirrhotic patients who underwent liver resection with Pringle's maneuver, the lactate increase and decrease during the ischemic and postischemic phases correlated with the change in the indocyanine green elimination rate. The blood lactate profile might be a reliable indicator of liver metabolic capacity during surgery.
