The redox tolerance test was performed before percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage, in 15 patients with obstructive jaundice, and repeated 2 weeks after. Four patients without jaundice were evaluated as a control group. No difference was found in the redox tolerance index between the controls and the group with good bilirubin clearance. On the contrary, the redox tolerance index was significantly lower in the group with poor bilirubin clearance. No significant change in the redox tolerance index was revealed after percutaneous drainage. However, of four patients whose indices were smaller than 0.5 before biliary drainage, three died after developing cholangitis. The redox tolerance test is useful for evaluating hepatic function and predicting outcome in patients with obstructive jaundice. |
