The AA. studied sulfobromophthalein kinetics in normal subjects and patients with alcoholic cirrhosis by compartmental analysis and by mathematical resolution of disappearance plasmatic curve of BSF. The comparison between the two methods gave some interesting clues for understanding BSF metabolism in alcoholic cirrhosis. From obtained data it seems that BSF clearance in these patients, besides on hepatic uptake, like normal subjects, largerly depends on intact secretory function of the liver.
