The aim of this study was to assess the value of the monoethylglicinexylidide assay, a
dynamic liver function test based on the determination of the serum concentration of …

Determination of the functional hepatic reserve is still controversial. Many tests have been
proposed, but the assay based on formation of the lidocaine metabolite, monoethylglycine …

The aim of this prospective study was to examine the usefulness of flow‐dependent dynamic
liver function tests and conventional methods of evaluating liver function as predictors of …

Lidocaine is metabolized to form monoethylglycinexylidide (MEGX) via oxidative N-
deethylation in the liver. To assess the clinical value of this lidocaine metabolite as a …

A method for rapid assessment of hepatic function in cirrhotics based on the formation of the
lidocaine metabolite, monoethylglycinexylidide (MEGX), was evaluated. The formation …

Background: Monoethylglycinexylidide (MEGX) formation following lignocaine injection has
recently been proposed as a simple dynamic liver function test based on a single …

The objective of this prospective study was to assess the prognostic value of dynamic liver
function tests and traditional methods of evaluating liver function in potential candidates for …

In clinical practice, the seriousness of liver disease is assessed based on the combined
information from clinical examination, routine biochemical tests, and liver histology …

To evaluate the prognostic value of quantitative liver function tests in comparison with
established prognostic variables, the data of 47 patients with liver cirrhosis were analysed. A …

Lidocaine, an aminoethylamide, undergoes deethylation in the liver after intravenous
injection, resulting in the formation of monoethylglycinexylidide. Serum …
