[Liver function in lymphogranulomatosis].

In 71 patients with lymphogranulomatosis (35 males and 36 females aged from 19 to 67 years) the hepatic function was studied prior to and during the cytostatic treatment. There were found considerable disturbances in the liver functioning and parallelism between the activity of the mentioned enzymes and the presence of intoxication, the enlarged liver size and intensity of the pathological process. During the treatment in some patients the activity of the enzymes under study was decreased or normalized. Changes in the activity of blood transminase, aldolase and alkaline phosphatase would reflect the gravity of destructive processes and disturbances in the liver function in patients with lymphogranulomatosis. The data obtained are of certain value for the treatment and prognosis of the disease.
