摘要:
In many patients with cirrhosis, salt retention eventually culminates in ascites and edema. The pathogenesis probably involves several hormonal and neural effecters acting in concert. When conservative therapy with diet and diuretics fails to mobilize fluid, options for more intensive treatment include large-volume paracentesis and the transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt.
