Influence of portal vein occlusion on portal flow and liver elasticity in an animal model [PDF]
Hepatic fibrosis causes an increase in liver stiffness, a parameter measured by elastography and widely used as a diagnosis method. The concomitant presence of portal vein thrombosis (PVT) implies a change in hepatic portal inflow that could also affect liver elasticity.

Hyponatraemia and cirrhosis [PDF]
Hyponatraemia is a common complication of advanced cirrhosis related to an impairment in the renal capacity for eliminating solute-free water, causing a retention of water that is disproportionate to the retention of sodium, thus leading to a reduction in serum sodium concentration and hypo-osmolality.

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

Hypotension in Cirrhosis [PDF]
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 ...
