Journal ArticleDOI
Randomized trial comparing albumin, dextran 70, and polygeline in cirrhotic patients with ascites treated by paracentesis
Angels Ginès,Gloria Fernández-Esparrach,Alberto Monescillo,Carmen Vila,Eugeni Domènech,Raquel Abecasis,Paolo Angeli,Luis Ruiz-del-Arbol,Ramon Planas,Ricard Solà,Pere Ginès,R. Terg,L Inglada,P Vaque,Francesco Salerno,Victor Vargas,Gerardo Clemente,J. Quer,Wladimiro Jiménez,V. Arroyo,Joan Rodés +20 more
TL;DR: Postparacentesis circulatory dysfunction is not spontaneously reversible and is associated with a shorter time to first readmission and shorter survival, and albumin is the best plasma expander to prevent this complication.
Journal ArticleDOI
Circulatory function and hepatorenal syndrome in cirrhosis.
Luis Ruiz-del-Arbol,Alberto Monescillo,Carlos Arocena,Paz Valer,Pere Ginès,Víctor Moreira,José María Milicua,Wladimiro Jiménez,Vicente Arroyo +8 more
TL;DR: The data indicate that hepatorenal syndrome is the result of a decrease in cardiac output in the setting of a severe arterial vasodilation, and plasma renin activity and cardiac output were the only independent predictors of hepat Lorenal syndrome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Terlipressin and albumin vs albumin in patients with cirrhosis and hepatorenal syndrome: a randomized study.
Marta Martín–Llahí,Marie Noëlle Pépin,Mónica Guevara,Fernando Díaz,Aldo Torre,Alberto Monescillo,Germán Soriano,Carlos Terra,Emilio Fábrega,Vicente Arroyo,Juan Rodés,Pere Ginès +11 more
TL;DR: Treatment with terlipressin and albumin is effective in improving renal function in patients with cirrhosis and hepatorenal syndrome and survival at 3 months was not significantly different between the groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of portal hypertension and its early decompression by TIPS placement on the outcome of variceal bleeding
Alberto Monescillo,Francisco J. Martínez-Lagares,Luis Ruiz-del-Arbol,Angel Sierra,Clemencia Guevara,Elena Jimenez,Jose Miguel Marrero,Enrique Buceta,Juan Sánchez,Ana Castellot,Monica Penate,Ana Cruz,Elena Peña +12 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that increased portal pressure estimated by early HVPG measurement is a main determinant of treatment failure and survival in variceal bleeding, and early TIPS placement reduces treatment failures and mortality in high risk patients defined by hemodynamic criteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Systemic, renal, and hepatic hemodynamic derangement in cirrhotic patients with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis
Luis Ruiz-del-Arbol,Jesús Urman,Javier Fernández,Mónica González,Miguel Navasa,Alberto Monescillo,Agustín Albillos,Wladimiro Jiménez,Vicente Arroyo +8 more
TL;DR: Patients with SBP frequently develop a rapidly progressive impairment in systemic hemodynamics, leading to severe renal and hepatic failure, aggravation of portal hypertension, encephalopathy, and death, despite rapid resolution of infection.
