[Liver circulation based on rheohepatographic data in peritonitis].

Under study were 66 children with diffuse purulent peritonitis of the appendicular genesis and 18 adults with bile peritonitis resulting from gangrenous cholecystitis. The analysis of their rheohepatograms showed sharply increased tone of hepatic arterioles, slower outflow of the venous blood, especially in the group of patients with bile peritonitis. Such changes were found to stay long and not to return to normality by the time of discharge of the patient from the hospital. Such patients should be purposefully treated in the polyclinics.
