Indocyanine green, which has negligible extrahepatic uptake, should be an ideal test of liver function. Its use has been investigated in 92 patients using a dose of 0.1 mg/kg and the results being expressed as percentage retention at 10 min. The following results were obtained persons without liver disease, 0-20% retention; cirrhosis of the liver, 6-77%; secondary carcinoma of the liver, 25-35%; active infectious hepatitis, 22-59%; convalescent hepatitis, 9-20%. Only 3 of 21 patients with cirrhosis had values less than 20%; all 3 had normal bromsulfalein retention values. Indocyanine green retention offers a satisfactory and simple test of liver function.
