Hypotension in Cirrhosis [PDF]
Clinical Liver Disease, 2019 Circulatory and cardiac compromise in cirrhosis has been well studied. The primary pathophysiology stems from portal hypertension, which is induced from an increased resistance to flow secondary to distorted sinusoidal architecture and is further sustained from an increase in portal venous flow.1 Portal hypertension induces both progressive splanchnic ...

Current Treatment Options in Gastroenterology, 2019 Patients with cirrhosis are at high risk of developing serious infections. Bacterial infections remain the most common cause of morbidity and mortality in these patients. This review is focused on the prevalence of infections in those with cirrhosis, including multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens, pathogenesis of infection-related acute-on-chronic liver
