Terlipressin therapy with and without albumin for patients with hepatorenal syndrome: Results of a prospective, nonrandomized study
Rolando Ortega,Pere Ginès,Juan Uriz,Andrés Cárdenas,B. Calahorra,Dara De Las Heras,Mónica Guevara,Ramon Bataller,Wladimiro Jiménez,Vicente Arroyo,Juan Rodés +10 more
TL;DR: Turbineressin therapy reverses HRS in a high proportion of patients and albumin appears to improve markedly the beneficial effects of terlipressin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacterial infections, sepsis, and multiorgan failure in cirrhosis.
TL;DR: The mechanisms of bacterial translocation such as impaired immunity and bacterial overgrowth are reviewed, as well as maneuvers that may inhibit bacterial translocated and could be used not only to prevent infections but also to ameliorate the hyperdynamic circulatory state of cirrhosis.
