The subjects for this investigation were patients from the Medical Wards of the University Service, Kings County Hospital. A total of 40 patients were studied. Fourteen patients who had recovered from recent acute infections or other minor illnesses and were considered to have normal liver function by the usual clinical and laboratory criteria, served as a control group. There were 26 subjects in the cirrhotic group. Twenty-one of these cirrhotic patients had a history of prolonged excessive alcoholic intake and poor nutrition; 5 had a history of acute hepatitis years previous to the onset of their present illness. The diagnosis of cirrhosis was supported by laboratory studies in all cases, and in 15 subjects by liver biopsy. Ten of the cirrhotic patients had ascites and paracenteses were performed 24 hours before study so that they were as "dry" as possible during the study. The estimated splanchnic blood flow (ESBF) and splanchnic oxygen consumption (SOC) were determined in all subjects in the morning after a fast of at least 12 hours, and for variable periods up to 90 minutes following the ingestion of either protein or glucose. The splanchnic blood flow was determined by the bromsulfalein (BSP) method (3). An infusion of BSP (in 0.85 per cent saline) was administered intravenously at a constant rate maintained in a few instances by a tunnel clamp and in the remaining cases by a calibrated Bowman pump. The rate of infusion was adjusted so
