The questionnaire was answered by 743 cases (35.3%)The results were as follows.1) In liver cirrhosis ICG test revealed a significant low value in patients who died within one year after the test than in alive patients. ICG test showed a significant low value in patients who died by gastrointestinal bleeding compared with patients died by hepatic coma. From these results it was suggested that a patient who showed a value of ICG plasma disappearance rate(K) under 0.05 or a value of ICG retention rate at 15 minutes(R15) upper 50% might possible die within one year caused by gastrointestinal bleeding.2) There was a significant difference in cumulative proportion surviving rate between patients who showed K under 0.05 and patients showed K upper 0.05.3) In alive cases with chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis and cholelithiasis there was a significant relationship between values of ICG test and the following condition of patients.
