โœฆ Synopsis

A nocturnal increase in portal pressure and blood flow was demonstrated in patients with cirrhosis, suggesting Patients. Fourteen patients with cirrhosis (10 men and 4 women, that these hemodynamic changes may contribute to the mean age 53 { 6 years [mean { SEM]; range, 35-63 years) were triggering of the hemorrhagic episodes observed during included in this study. Diagnosis of the disease was made by liver the night in these patients. It is known that propranolol biopsy in nine patients and was based on clinical and biochemical reduces portal flow, thus reducing the risk of variceal data in five. The origin of cirrhosis was alcoholic in nine patients, posthepatitic in three, and cryptogenic in two. All of these patients
