Although known for more than 40 years (1, 21, the pathogenesis of the hyperdynamic circulatory state often associated with advanced liver disease remains poorly understood. The clinical observations of warm skin, capillary pulsations of the digits, bounding pulse, somewhat low blood pressure and wid

The systemic cardiovascular complications of cirrhosis include generalized vasodilatation manifested clinically as hypotension, decreased systemic vascular resistance, increased cardiac output and an increased rate of blood flow through the tissues (1-4); it is commonly called the hyperdynamic circu
Chronic bile duct ligation is associated with the development of oxidant injury, biliary cirrhosis, portal hypertension, and a hyperdynamic circulation. We have previously demonstrated that the hyperdynamic circulation in the partial portal vein-ligated rat can be prevented by the administration of
An increased release of nitric oxide (NO), a powerful vasodilating agent, has been proposed to play a role in the pathogenesis of vasodilation and hyperdynamic circulation associated with advanced cirrhosis. We evaluated NO synthase (NOS) activity in peripheral leukocytes of 12 cirrhotic patients an
