[To study whether chronic liver disease (CLD) and genetic polymorphism affect the hepatic activity of cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoforms, we compared in vivo CYP2C19 and CYP3A activities using 3-hour omeprazole hydroxylation index (plasma concentration ratio of omeprazole to its 5-hydroxylated metabolite; a higher index indicates lower CYP2C19 activity) and partial formation clearance of cortisol to 6beta-hydroxycortisol (CL(cortisol-->6beta-HC)) in 31 CLD patients (9 with chronic hepatitis; 22 with cirrhosis comprising 20 Child-Pugh type A, 1 type B, and 1 type C) and 30 healthy subjects with different CYP2C19 genotypes.].
