OBSERVATIONS ON HEPATIC SUPERFICIAL LYMPH FLOW

Y Shimada

Abstract


Hepatic superficial lymph flow was studied by injecting
patent blue V solution into the liver under
peritoneoscopy. This procedure enabled detailed
observations of the direction of hepatic lymph flow
in superlicial lymphatic vessels and migration of
lymph from these lymphatic vessels to lymphatic
vessels of the gallbladder. Increase in this flow was
observed in patients with increased liver fibrosis
and lobular distortion.
