Involvement of vasoactive substances in hemodynamics disturbances in cirrhosis
نویسنده
چکیده
Cirrhosis is a pathological entity characterized by the association of hepatocyte necrosis, fibrosis and regenerative nodules; hemodynamic and neurohormonal metabolic factors intervening in its development mechanisms, resulting in hepatic stellate cell activation and transformation and development of liver fibrosis. Cytokines are key modulators of liver cell fibroblast transformation. Prostaglandins play an important role in the control of vascular tone and in thrombosis; Angiotensin II stimulates fibroblast proliferation by AT-1 receptors. Thrombin influences cellular remodeling in the liver and cardiovascular cirrhotic patients. Oxidative stress is involved in the development of liver cirrhosis by primary and secondary biological irreversible effects. Complex etiology involving vasoactive substances, oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of liver cirrhosis, require further studies to elucidate the mechanisms involved in hemodynamic disturbances associated with this disorder.

Assessment of autonomic nervous system function in patients with non-alcoholic cirrhosis
Automatic dysfunction may contribute to the hemodynamic disturbances in cirrhosis. Tests of autonomic function were performed in 31 patients with non-alcoholic cirrhosis and 30 healthy subjects. Patients were divided into 3 groups according to child- Pugh,s classification ( A.B.C). The patients with moderate and severe cirrhosis( child B,C) had significant parasympathetic disturbance ( in the v...

Objective(s) The liver has major role in the organism homeostasis, interactions with other systems, synthesis and metabolism of bile production, drug detoxification and hormone inactivation. Cholestasis can be defined as an impairment of the bile flow which can lead to hepatocytes necrosis and finally cirrhosis. Some studies reported a gastric acid secretion reduction in cirrhotic subjects, wh...
