Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: To assess the effect of reducing intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) by paracentesis on renal resistive index (RI), hemodynamics and renal function. DESIGN AND SETTING: Uncontrolled trial in a university gastroenterological intensive care unit. PATIENTS: Twelve spontaneously breathing cirrhotic patients with hepatorenal syndrome, tense ascites and a clinical indication for paracentesis. INTERVENTIONS: Paracentesis and substitution of albumin. MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS: Hemodynamic variables...     »
