1 Plasma glutathione S-transferase concentration as a measure of hepatocellular integrity following a single general anaesthetic with halothane, enflurane or isoflurane. Enflurane glutathione S-transferase kappa 1 Homo sapiens
2 The plasma concentration of hepatic glutathione S-transferase (GST) was measured in matched groups of patients who received halothane, enflurane or isoflurane anaesthesia for elective minor surgery. Enflurane glutathione S-transferase kappa 1 Homo sapiens
3 The GST concentrations increased significantly at 3 h after anaesthesia in patients who received halothane or enflurane, but not in patients who were given isoflurane. Enflurane glutathione S-transferase kappa 1 Homo sapiens
4 A secondary increase in GST concentration, at 24 h, was seen in a small number of individuals who received halothane or enflurane. Enflurane glutathione S-transferase kappa 1 Homo sapiens
5 Abnormal GST concentrations were found in 50% of patients following halothane anaesthesia, 20% following enflurane and 11% after isoflurane. Enflurane glutathione S-transferase kappa 1 Homo sapiens
6 The small but significant increases in GST concentrations in patients receiving halothane or enflurane suggests an impairment of hepatocellular integrity following the administration of these anaesthetics. Enflurane glutathione S-transferase kappa 1 Homo sapiens
