Description
Ascites is the most frequent and hepatorenal syndrome the most lethal complication
in liver cirrhosis. In recent years, major progress has been made regarding
effective treatment of these complications, thus reducing mortality in patients.
This publication highlights and critically appraises recent achievements and
novel advances, and at the same time provides the background needed to grasp
novel concepts. Topics treated include complications of paracentesis, the right
choice of plasma expanders, and selection of patients who will experience survival
benefit from transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt. Hepatorenal syndrome,
on the other hand, is responsible for a broad spectrum of manifestations caused
by acute kidney injury, which until recently was considered a lethal condition.
Drug treatments to improve renal function and prolong survival are therefore
also discussed, including important issues for clinical outcome which are still
under debate. Moreover, the role of combined kidney-liver transplantation versus
conventional liver-only transplantation is addressed, as well as the use of
vaptans in hyponatremia and their controversial role in the treatment of ascites.
Renowned experts share their knowledge and expertise and provide an international
perspective. Their contributions include up-to-date references and a bullet-point
summary, making this publication most valuable for practitioners, clinicians
and scientists in the field.
