Octreotide is thought to reduce splanchnic and variceal blood flow with minimal effects on the systemic circulation in cirrhotic patients with portal hypertension. However, we noticed significant bradycardia in some patients immediately after administration of bolus doses of octreotide. Therefore, w
Renal sodium handling, assessed by the response to acute saline loading, was investigated in 14 well-compensated, nonascitic alcoholic cirrhotics and six normal controls. Urinary sodium excretion in cirrhotic patients (199 2 14 1 pmoles per min) was significantly lower than in controls (387 f 104 pm
Circulating catecholamines are increased in cirrhosis with portal hypertension, and increase further after propranolol. In 23 cirrhotic patients, plasma norepinephrine and epinephrine were determined in an artery, the azygos vein, the right renal vein and a hepatic vein before and after an oral 80-m
The onset of sodium retention in the phenobarbital and carbon tetrachloride model of cirrhosis in the rat is preceded by a linear decrease in hepatic function as measured by the aminopyrine breath teat. Sodium retention occurs when liver function decreases below a critical threshold. Changes in syst
