To investigate the role of nitric oxide (NO) with respect to kidney function and liver cirrhosis, we evaluated renal function, as well as cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) and NOx (nitrite/nitrate [NO3-/NO2-]) as indirect markers of NO formation in plasma and urine at rest and during amino acid
Liver cirrhosis is a major risk factor in general surgery. Few studies have reported on the outcome of cardiac surgery in these patients. Herein we report our recent experience in this high-risk patient population according to the Child-Turcotte-Pugh classification and Model for End-Stage Liver Dise
Patients with cirrhosis who require open heart surgical procedures are among the most challenging and complex patients seen in cardiac surgery. Liver disease results in physiologic derangements that are only exacerbated by surgery and cardio pulmonary bypass. In this issue of Liver Transplantation,
