Liver cirrhosis and antibiotic therapy but not TIPS application leads to a shift of the intestinal bacterial communities: A controlled, prospective study

Journal of Digestive Diseases, Volume 25, Issue 3, Page 200-208, March 2024.
The gut–liver axis is discussed to play an important role in hepatic cirrhosis. Decompensated liver cirrhosis is often associated with portal hypertension, which can lead to a variety of complications. The application of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is an established treatment option for the complications of portal hypertension.
