Summary
Fluorometric estimations of plasma histamine in the blood of the portal vein, hepatic vein, cubital vein and the femoral artery were performed in 8 patients.
Concerning the difference of histamine in the portal and the hepatic vein blood, the histamine elimination of the liver comes to 63.1±12.8 per cent. The human liver seems to be important in the regulation of the plasma histamine concentration.
Zusammenfassung
Plasmahistaminkonzentrationen wurden bei 8 Patienten im Blut der Pfortader, der Lebervene, der Femoralarterie und systemvenös fluorimetrisch bestimmt. Der von der Leber eliminierte Histaminanteil, errechnet aus der Differenz des portal einströmenden und des über die Lebervene ausströmenden Plasmahistamins, beträgt bei arterieller Beimischung von 30% im Mittel 63,1±12,8%. Auf die Fähigkeit der Leber durch unterschiedlich große Eliminierung des Histamins den Plasmahistamingehalt zu regulieren wird hingewiesen.
