Journal ArticleDOI

Peripheral arterial vasodilation hypothesis: a proposal for the initiation of renal sodium and water retention in cirrhosis.

TL;DR: The stimulation of the renin‐angiotensin‐aldosterone system, vasopressin release and sympathetic nervous system associated with cirrhosis is not consonant with primary volume expansion, and favors the “overflow” hypothesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of Intravenous Albumin on Renal Impairment and Mortality in Patients with Cirrhosis and Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis

TL;DR: In patients with cirrhosis and spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, treatment with intravenous albumin in addition to an antibiotic reduces the incidence of renal impairment and death in comparison with treatment with an antibiotic alone.
Journal ArticleDOI

Compensated cirrhosis: natural history and prognostic factors.

TL;DR: To investigate the natural history of compensated cirrhosis, 293 consecutive patients without previous major complications were studied in terms of morbidity and survival and a prognostic index was constructed that allows calculation of the estimated survival probability.
