Low-Dose vs. Standard Care Iv Human Albumin During Large-Volume Paracentesis in Patients With Liver Cirrhosis: A Systematic Review. [PDF]

Liver Int
ABSTRACT Cirrhosis is a global health concern, with ascites being the most prevalent decompensating event. Intravenous (IV) human albumin (HA) is administered during large‐volume paracentesis (LVP) to prevent complications. The standard (6–8 g HA/L ascites) is empirically chosen, potentially leading to overtreatment and added costs.

Targeted decrease of portal hepatic pressure gradient improves ascites control after TIPS

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
The river diagram demonstrates that after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt insertion (TIPS) the majority of patients without ascites and 50% of the patients with ascites detectable at ultrasound, show the best response in the long term follow‐up.
