Abstract

It is well known that most anesthectis and drugs are metabolized and excreted in the liver. There are many controversies regarding postoperative halothane hepatotoxicitr and often reported postoperative hepatic dysfunction following enflurane anesthesia. It appears that the development of hepatic necrosis after anesthesia depends on a chance combination of events but not anesthetics itself. Common causes of postoperative hepatic damages ia possibly due to viral heatitis, since in oar country viral hepatitis B are increasing in frequency recently. This study was performed to evaluate the effect of enflurane on liver function in 25 asy-mptomatic patients hepatitis B surface antigen positive. The results seems favorable for anesthesia and sureery. on asymptomatic viral hepatitis B patients.
