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
Primary Prophylaxis of Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis Delays Hepatorenal Syndrome and Improves Survival in Cirrhosis
Javier Fernández,Miquel Navasa,Ramon Planas,Silvia Montoliu,David Monfort,Germán Soriano,Carmen Vila,Alberto Pardo,Enrique Quintero,Victor Vargas,José Such,Pere Ginès,Vicente Arroyo +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors showed that primary prophylaxis with norfloxacin has a great impact in the clinical course of patients with advanced cirrhosis, reducing the incidence of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, delaying the development of hepatorenal syndrome, and improving survival.

TL;DR: The presence of bactDNA in a patient with cirrhosis during an ascitic episode is an indicator of poor prognosis, and this fact may be related to the development of acute‐on‐chronic liver failure at short term and does not predict theDevelopment of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis.
