Journal ArticleDOI

Endoscopic treatment versus endoscopic plus pharmacologic treatment for acute variceal bleeding: A meta‐analysis

TL;DR: In patients with AVB, pharmacologic agents improve the efficacy of endoscopic therapy to achieve initial control of bleeding and 5‐day hemostasis, yet fail to affect mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI

Systemic, renal, and hepatic hemodynamic derangement in cirrhotic patients with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Increased lipopolysaccharide binding protein in cirrhotic patients with marked immune and hemodynamic derangement

TL;DR: The subset of ascitic cirrhotic patients with marked immune and hemodynamic derangement is identified by increased LBP levels, which suggests the involvement of enteric bacteria or their products in the triggering of the process.
Journal ArticleDOI

A meta-analysis of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt versus paracentesis for refractory ascites

TL;DR: In patients with refractory ascites, a better control of ascites by TIPS does not translate into improved survival and worsens encephalopathy.
