Abstract: Summary: The plasma disappearance of an intravenously injected tracer dose of glycocholic acid (glycine-1-14Cy was compared in patients with and without diffuse hepatocellular disease. No difference was found between the two groups of patients. We conclude that this test is not a sensitive index of the presence of significant liver disease.
