To evaluate the significance of hepatic functional reserve for the operation of liver cancer complicated with cirrhosis. Fifty-six patients suffering from liver cancer complicated with cirrhosis were divided into three levels, A, B and C, according to Child-Pugh grading system. Based on indocyanine green retention rate at 15 min (ICGR15) value, patients were divided into three intervals, ≤15%, 15-25% and ≥25%. According to the existence of complications, patients were divided into the complication group and the no complication group. Child-Pugh grading included 50 cases of level A, 45 cases of B and 29 cases of C. ICGR15 value included 47 cases of ≤15% interval, 47 cases of 15-25% and 30 cases of ≥25%. As the IGCR15 value increased, the levels of all indicators were obviously increased. Among the 124 patients, 35 cases (28.23%) suffered complications The median follow-up time was 25.0 months. The survival rate of the complication group was 60.00% (21 cases), significantly lower than that of the no complication group (84.27%). Child-Pugh grading of the complication group included 4 cases of level A, 12 cases of B and 19 cases of C. ICGR15 value included 15 cases of 15~25% interval and 20 cases of ≥25%. Child-Pugh grading and ICGR15 value can both reflect hepatic functional reserve and are of great clinical significance for complication and survival. There is a fairly good relevance between ICGR15 and levels of AFP, ALT and indicators of liver fibrosis.
