Am J Med
. 1993 Sep;
95(3):286-95.
PMID: 8368226
Purpose: To test the peripheral arterial vasodilation hypothesis of sodium retention in cirrhosis. This states that sodium retention is triggered by arterial underfilling and predicts that development of sodium retention...

92(5):485-93.
PMID: 1533748
Purpose And Patients And Methods: The relationship of plasma renin activity (PRA) to indices of circulatory filling and other possible determinants of renin secretion was studied in 31 men with...

Gastroenterology
. 1992 Mar;
102(3):1024-9.
PMID: 1537494
A pathological state of arterial vasodilation has been postulated to cause the increased cardiac output commonly observed in cirrhosis. Further, subsequent arterial underfilling has been proposed as the stimulus to...

J Hepatol
. 1992 Mar;
14(2-3):157-62.
PMID: 1500679
Less complex methods of measuring hepatic metabolic capacity are needed. A simplified caffeine clearance test was evaluated in 23 patients with stable alcoholic liver disease. First, saliva caffeine concentrations were...

Am J Gastroenterol
. 1991 May;
86(5):553-9.
PMID: 2028944
We investigated the occurrence of alcoholic autonomic dysfunction in patients with alcoholic cirrhosis in order to define its prevalence and relationship to renal sodium retention. Forty-seven alcoholics and 16 age-matched...

100(5 Pt 1):1411-6.
PMID: 2013386
Vasopressin is often used to treat variceal hemorrhage. However, its efficacy is uncertain, and its portal hemodynamic effects in this setting are unknown. Eleven patients with alcoholic liver disease and...

. 1991 May;
100(5 Pt 1):1403-10.
PMID: 2013385
Portal pressure was monitored by means of an indwelling hepatic vein balloon catheter in patients with alcoholic cirrhosis and bleeding varices to determine the safety and feasibility of the technique...

J Lab Clin Med
. 1991 Jan;
117(1):67-75.
PMID: 1987311
We tested the hypothesis that increased plasma glucagon concentration resulting from portal-systemic shunting or liver dysfunction causes arterial vasodilation and thereby stimulates sodium retention in cirrhosis. Twenty-seven studies were performed...
