Esophageal Varix - Bleeding (11 of 15)
Case description
Cirrhosis of the liver with Ascites
There are evidences that arterial vasodilation in cirrhosis
occurs in the splanchnic circulation and is related to
anincreased synthesis of local vasodilators. Vascular
resistance is normal or increased in the remaining major
vascular territories (kidney, muscle and skin and brain)
Splanchnic arterial vasodilation not only impairs systemic
hemodynamics and renal function but also alters
hemodynamics in the splanchnic microcirculation.
