Abstract Changes in the microcirculation in the liver during anaphylactic shock were studied in experiments on rats and dogs. After injection of the reacting dose of horse serum the systemic blood pressure rose on the average by 20 mm Hg, spasm of the sinusoids and hepatic venules was observed, and the blood flow in them was accelerated. During the subsequent fall of the arterial pressure to 60–40 mm Hg congestion of the blood vessels, slowing of the blood flow, intravascular aggregation of the blood cells, and hemorrhages together with ischemic disturbances were observed in the liver. Restoration of the systemic arterial pressure and microcirculation took place parallel, but the normal microcirculation in the liver was not restored under these circumstances.
