Patients with cirrhosis and portal hypertension often develop complications relating to hepatic excretory dysfunction. The standard measurement of the hepatic excretion is the constant infusion indocyanine green clearance (ICGCI) technique. The ICG 15‐min retention test (ICG‐r15) is faster, more patient friendly, and cheaper. The aims were to compare the ICG‐r15 test with the standard method, to assess relations to patient characteristics and survival, and to assess the ICG‐r15 level in healthy control subjects.
