Serum lactric dehydrogenase, alpha-hydroxy-butyrate dehydrogenase, iso-citric dehydrogenase, and glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase activities were measured daily for 2 weeks postoperatively in the serum of 22 patients undergoing cardiac surgery with extracorporeal circulation. The length of perfusion was found to be a major factor affecting the extent of increased postoperative enzyme activities. Significantly higher levels were demonstrated in patients perfused for over 1 hour compared with those perfused for under 1 hour. Hepatocellular damage, age, and type of operation were not considered to be major factors in determining the extent of this increased activity. A considerable increase in enzyme activity was found to occur during perfusion when the dilution introduced by mixing the patient''s circulation with the priming fluid of the heart-lung machine was taken into account. This dilution, when accounted for, increased the observed enzyme activity by 30 to 50%.
