ABSTRACT Background Estimated plasma volume status (ePVS) correlates with intravascular congestion and prognosis in patients with heart failure. The ePVS relationship with invasive hemodynamic profiling and clinical outcomes in patients with liver cirrhosis (LC) remains unclear. Methods This single‐center retrospective cohort study included LC patients

ABSTRACT Introduction Management of hepatic encephalopathy relies on the identification and control of precipitating factors (PF). The prognostic value of a PF is unknown, which we aimed to explore. Patients and Methods Single‐center retrospective study of cirrhotic patients included in a prospective cohort admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU ...

Abstract Objective Clinical decision instruments (CDIs) could be useful to aid risk stratification and disposition of emergency department (ED) patients with cirrhosis. Our primary objective was to derive and internally validate a novel Cirrhosis Risk Instrument for Stratifying Post‐Emergency department mortality (CRISPE) for the outcomes of 14‐ and 30‐

Peristomal variceal hemorrhage at the ileal conduit site due to extrahepatic portosystemic shunt
Peristomal variceal bleeding is a rare but known complication with portal hypertension. In patients with recurrent peristomal hemorrhage, atypical varices should be considered, and liver cirrhosis should be excluded even with normal liver function tests.

The Evolution of Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt: Tips [PDF]
Since Richter’s description in the literature in 1989 of the first procedure on human patients, transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) has been worldwide considered as a noninvasive technique to manage portal hypertension complications. TIPS succeeds in lowering the hepatic sinusoidal pressure and in increasing the circulatory flow, thus ...
