Core Tip	The 13C-methacetin breath test (13C-MBT) is a promising tool for the assessment of metabolic liver function. Previous studies have mainly been conducted in the setting of chronic liver disease; however, evidence on acute liver injury is scanty. The present study evaluated the role of 13C-MBT in the assessment of acute liver injury in an animal model and showed that 13C-MBT was sensitive for the timely detection of acute liver injury and for early prediction of liver function recovery.
