Abstract
Comparisons were made of [human] hepatic circulation between alcoholic and non-alcoholic cirrhosis. The wedged hepatic venous pressure and percent intrahepatic shunt measured by the method of continuous infusion of D-galactose-1-14C were similarly increased. The wedged hepatic venography showed the main portal trunk and extrahepatic collaterals, i.e., the tendency of reverse or stagnant portal flow, more frequently in alcoholic cirrhosis than in non-alcoholic cirrhosis. The nodules shown by slow low-pressure hepatic sinusoidography were larger in non-alcoholic cirrhosis than in alcoholic cirrhosis.
