Abstract:
Basic liver functions can guarantee substance metabolism necessary for the body, and the liver itself has the ability of self-healing and self-regeneration. Routine liver function tests cannot fully reflect the potential of liver parenchyma, i.e., the actual status of liver reserve function. Indocyanine green clearance test is considered an ideal index for liver reserve function. This article reviews the value of indocyanine green clearance test in clinical practice, in order to improve the awareness of the importance of liver reserve function assessment among clinicians.
