Novel Method to Assess Hepatic Regeneration and Predict Hepatic Related Morbidity After Partial Hepatectomy

Sponsor: Englewood Hospital and Medical Center

Summary

the investigators will pursue two specific aims: (1) to monitor the extent of heme oxygenase induction (by measuring endogenous CO production) in relationship to the extent of hepatic resection (2) to assess the production of CO in patients following liver resection and correlate these findings to the rate of liver regeneration and liver function.

Official title: Postoperative Heme Oxygenase Induction and Carbon Monoxide Production as a Novel Method to Assess Hepatic Regeneration and Predict Hepatic Related Morbidity After Partial Hepatectomy
