Abstract

In patients with chronic liver disease, the measurement of liver function is critical for monitoring disease progression, predicting the prognosis and choosing therapeutic strategies. The 13C-methacetin breath test is a simple, non-invasive diagnostic tool based on an inexpensive, non-toxic substance, which allows the accurate measurement of liver functional reserve.
