Studies of Adreno-Cortical Function Tests in Portal Cirrhosis

Comparative Studies of Liver Function Tests in Portal Cirrhosis

صحت تشخیصی پارامترهای شریان کبدی و ورید پورت در داپلر سونوگرافی سیروز

Background: Cirrhosis and portal hypertension influence the hepatic circulation. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of liver Doppler ultrasonography parameters in cirrhosis.Methods: This case-control study involved 118 subjects. All case subjects had biopsy-proven hepatic cirrhosis. The controls were healthy people, case-matched for age and gender. All cases and c...

Anticoagulation in cirrhosis: a new paradigm?

The liver plays a crucial role in coagulation cascade. Global hemostatic process is profoundly influenced by the presence of liver disease and its complications. Patients with cirrhosis have impaired synthesis of most of the factors involved in coagulation and fibrinolysis process due to a reduced liver function and altered platelet count secondary to portal hypertension. Altered routine tests ...

Coagulation Disorders and Portal Vein Thrombosis in Cirrhosis

• Despite prolongation of the prothrombin time, patients with cirrhosis often have decreased protein C and other changes leading to a rebalanced or even hypercoagulable state. • Conventional tests, like INR, are not adequate measures of hemostasis in cirrhotic patients and other tests like Endogenous Thrombin Production (ETP) and Thromboelastography (TEG) need greater standardization and furthe...

Assessment of autonomic nervous system function in patients with non-alcoholic cirrhosis

Automatic dysfunction may contribute to the hemodynamic disturbances in cirrhosis. Tests of autonomic function were performed in 31 patients with non-alcoholic cirrhosis and 30 healthy subjects. Patients were divided into 3 groups according to child- Pugh,s classification ( A.B.C). The patients with moderate and severe cirrhosis( child B,C) had significant parasympathetic disturbance ( in the v...
