| Abstract: | No worldwide consensus on the assessment tool for liver functional reserve is currently available. The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between liver elasticity of both hepatic lobes and liver functional reserve tests. This prospective observational study comprised 40 patients scheduled for hepatectomy. Liver elasticity was assessed by Virtual Touch Quantification (VTQ). The mean VTQ value for the right and left lobes was defined as the mVTQ. Liver functional reserve was measured with technetium-99m-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid-galactosyl-human serum albumin scintigraphy as LHL15 and HH15 and the indocyanine green (ICG) excretion test as ICG-R15 and ICG-K. All examinations were measured after biliary decompression confirmed serum a total bilirubin level <= 2 mg/dL. Mean VTQ values were moderately correlated with LHL15 (r = -0.42, p < 0.01), HH15 (r = 0.48,p < 0.01), ICG-R15 (r = 0.53,p < 0.01) and ICG-K (r = -0.61,p < 0.01) values. In conclusion, the liver elasticity determined by VTQ would be a useful predictor of liver functional reserve in patients scheduled for hepatectomy.
