Beyond Varices: Complications of Cirrhotic Portal Hypertension in Pediatrics

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors summarize the current literature in adults who experience these complications of cirrhotic portal hypertension beyond variceal hemorrhage and present the available literature in children, with a focus on diagnosis, management, and liver transplant decision making in children with cirrhosis who develop ascites, SBP, HRS, HE, and cardiopulmonary complications.

Short-Chain Fatty Acids Manifest Stimulative and Protective Effects on Intestinal Barrier Function Through the Inhibition of NLRP3 Inflammasome and Autophagy

TL;DR: It is suggested that SCFAs stimulate the formation of intestinal barrier, and protect the intestinal barrier from the disruption of LPS through inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome and autophagy.

Immunosuppression in acutely decompensated cirrhosis is mediated by prostaglandin E2.

TL;DR: Treatment with COX inhibitors or albumin restored immune competence and survival following infection with group B Streptococcus and taken together, human albumin solution infusions may be used to reduce circulating PGE2 levels, attenuating immune suppression and reducing the risk of infection in patients with acutely decompensated cirrhosis or ESLD.
