متن کاملThe influence of a peritoneovenous shunt for cirrhotic and malignant intractable ascites on renal function

Some patients who need PVS have renal dysfunction. However, renal dysfunction is considered a relative contraindication. Therefore, it is important to assess renal function before PVS placement. Purpose To evaluate the relationship bet...
