splanchnic extraction rates of adrenaline and noradrenaline were determined in seven normal subjects and in nine patients with cirrhosis of the liver using arterial-hepatic venous catherization . both catecholamines were effectively removed when the blood passed through the splanchnic area : splanchnic fractional uptake of adrenaline in normal subjects was 90 +/- 3 % , and lower for noradrenaline , 68 +/- 4 % ( p less than 0.001 ) .
