Abstract
A series of 17 patients is presented in whom compartmental BSP kinetics were determined before portacaval shunt operations. The results suggest that calculation of the equivalent liver volume is a valuable aid in the safer selection of patients, by providing a more accurate prediction of outcome than do conventional preoperative criteria.Keywords
