ABSTRACT
Twenty uncomplicated cases of cirrhosis of liver, proved by liver biopsy, and free from other systemic diseases were studied. Glucose (pre- and postprandial) and electrolytes (Na+, K+, Cl-) values were compared to those of systemic and portal venous blood. Chloride level in ascitic fluid was found to be significantly high in cirrhosis, as compared to portal and systemic venous blood. Sodium and glucose levels were similar in ascitic fluid and portal venous blood except in two cases complicated with tuberculous peritonitis, where pre- and postprandial glucose levels were considerably low. In 55% cases, there was impaired glucose tolerance, as measured by pre- and postprandial glucose levels in systemic venous blood.
