Prognostic Factors in Survival after Portasystemic Shunts

Annals of Surgery, 1985
Multivariate analyses correlated short-term survival and long-term survival with clinical data from 141 patients with portasystemic shunts for bleeding esophageal varices over the 8 years from 1974 through 1981. By logistic regression analysis, the elements with independent prognostic significance for operative death were an emergency operation, serum ...

Experimental study of the evaluation of liver function on the opposite side during portacaval anastomosis and ligation of the left portal branch [PDF]

, 2004
Background. Hepatocellular carcinoma is likely to accompany liver cirrhosis in which the portal pressure increases with portasystemic shunt. When portal tumor thrombus is present in the primary bifurcation, blood flow differs between the thrombolic lobe ...

The kidney plays a major role in the hyperammonemia seen after simulated or actual GI bleeding in patients with cirrhosis

, 2003
Upper gastrointestinal (UGI) bleeding in cirrhosis is associated with enhanced ammoniagenesis, the site of which is thought to be the colon. The aims of this study were to evaluate interorgan metabolism of ammonia following an UGI bleed in patients with ...

Diagnostic utility of venous ammonia, spleen size and platelet count as non invasive markers of porto systemic collaterals in cirrhotics. [PDF]

, 2011
INTRODUCTION : Portal hypertension is defined as portal pressure gradient of more than 6 mm Hg. The hypertensive portal vein is decompressed by diverting up to 90% of the portal flow through portasystemic collaterals back to the heart resulting in ...
