The transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) has been shown to be effective in the control of refractory or recidivant ascites. However, the effect of TIPS on survival as compared with that of large-volume paracentesis plus albumin is uncertain. A multicenter, prospective, clinical trial
The effects of long-term therapy (70 days) with torasemide (20 mg/day), a new loop diuretic, were compared with those of furosemide (50 mg/day) in a randomized double-blind trial. Both drugs were administered in association with spironolactone (200 mg/day) in 28 nonazotemic cirrhotic patients with c
The administration of albumin improves circulatory function, prevents hepatorenal syndrome, and reduces hospital mortality in patients with cirrhosis and spontaneous bacterial peritonitis. This randomized unblinded pilot study compared the effect of albumin (10 patients) and the synthetic plasma exp
