[Scintigraphic evaluation of the results of treatment of alcoholic liver cirrhosis].

The results of static and dynamic scintigraphy in patients with alcoholic liver cirrhosis showed changes in liver sizes, a decrease in the RL/LL ratio, an increase in spleen sizes, the reduction or distortion of the L/S ratio, extrahepatic uptake of RP, and predominance of the arterial component of the blood flow over the portal one. However the main scintigraphic signs of alcoholic liver cirrhosis were undetectable. After therapy (lymphovenous anastomosis, embolization of the hepatic artery) the recovery of functions was more rapid in patients with cirrhosis of alcoholic etiology who discontinued alcohol consumption than in those with cirrhosis of some other etiology.
