The specific contribution of splenic blood inflow to portal hypertension in patients with cirrhosis is still unclear. In this study, we investigated this contribution by assessing the hemodynamic effects of transient splenic artery occlusion. In 15 cirrhotic patients, portal pressure gradient (PPG)
The aim of this study was to investigate the hemodynamic effects of spironolactone associated with a low-sodium diet (n = 14) or a low-sodium diet alone (n = 9) in patients with compensated cirrhosis and portal hypertension. Spironolactone significantly reduced the plasma volume. This effect was ass
