This study compared hepatobiliary scintigraphy findings in livers before and after liver graft donation to examine whether there is a change in hepatobiliary dynamics. Nine donors underwent hepatobiliary scintigraphy with intravenous injection of Tc-99m mebrofenin 1 day before and during the first week after left liver lobectomy. Five donors also underwent additional scintigraphy more than 1 year postsurgery. Images were acquired every second for the first minute, and then every minute for the next 40 minutes. Hepatic arterial perfusion index and portal perfusion index(PPI) were calculated from the images acquired during the first minute. For the function phase the computed parameters included: hepatic extraction efficiency, (HEE), time to appearance of activity in the intrahepatic biliary channels, and in the intestine, time to half maximal activity, and activity retained in the liver parenchyma at 40 minutes. Time to appearance of intrahepatic biliary channels and of intestinal activity was shorter among scintigraphies obtained within 1 week postsurgery compared to the preoperative values. Early after the operation HEE increased and PPI decreased significantly. Visual inspection of the scintigraphy scan obtained in all donors, within the first week postsurgery revealed hypertrophy of the right liver lobe. None of the patients showed progression of right lobe activity to the left side, even among scans obtained more than 1 year after donation. Reduced time to activity in the biliary channels and intestine and increased HEE suggest acceleration of hepatobiliary dynamics.
