In patients with cirrhosis and portal hypertension, propranolol administration reduces heart rate and cardiac output and diminishes portal pressure and collateral blood flow. However, there is little information on the possible effects of propranolol on hepatic artery blood flow. The present study a

Severe portal hypertension is responsible for complications and death. Although measurement of the hepatic venous pressure gradient is the most accurate method for evaluating the presence and severity of portal hypertension, this technique is considered invasive and is not routinely performed in all
## Physical exercise increases portal pressure (hepatic venous pressure gradient [HVPG]) in patients with cirrhosis. It is unknown if this deleterious effect is associated with changes in gastroesophageal collateral blood flow and if these can be prevented by propranolol administration. The aim of
The pharmacokinetics of diacerein following a single oral dose of 50 mg was studied in 12 healthy volunteers, 10 patients with a mild liver cirrhosis (Child Pugh's grade A), and 6 patients with a more severe liver cirrhosis (Child Pugh's grade B to C). Statistical analysis using a Kruskal-Wallis tes
