ABSTRACT
In examinations of 72 patients with liver cirrhosis and chronic hepatitis the transaminase activity of the urine (T-uria) was found in 55.6% of the cases, above all in liver cirrhosis. The T-uria increases parallel to the progressing portal hypertension to the hepatocellular insufficiency and to the hepatorenal syndrome. It is reduced in positive dynamics of the hepatic process. The T-uria has an essential prognostic value. In the terminal phase of the liver cirrhosis the T-uria is perhaps connected with disturbances of the hepatic haemodynamics.
