Abstract
Liver function tests were performed in 41 patients who required repeated anaesthetics for genitourinary surgery, and who had received multiple halothane anaesthetics in the past, first following anaesthesia using halothane and then following an anaesthetic without halothane. There was a smaller frequency of disturbance of liver function after halothane than after the non-halothane anaesthetic. There was no obvious relationship between the number of anaesthetics, or the total duration of anaesthesia, and the disturbance of liver function tests.Keywords
