Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Arterial vasodilatation is one of the most important characteristics of cirrrhosis and portal hyptertension. Nowadays, it has been known that progressive vasodilatation is an essential factor contributing to hyperdynamic circulation and multiple organ dysfunction in liver cirrhosis. Over the past decades, numerous investigations have originated from the clinical observations. Clinicians and investigators have learned and applied new concepts of the pathophysiology of portal hypertension. For example, we now have effective pharmacologic treatment for hepatorenal syndrome. This review summarizes the developement of progressive vasodilatation syndrome in liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension with focus on the patients. |
