Abstract

The relationship between nitric oxide production, endotoxemia, renal function and hyperdynamic circulatory syndrome has not been yet investigated in patients with cirrhosis. Serum and urine nitrate, endotoxemia and cardiac index were measured in 59 patients with cirrhosis. Patients with a tense ascites had higher serum nitrate levels than healthy control subjects (39 +/- 7 vs 19 +/- 4 mumol/l, p < 0.01). Patients with mild ascites and without ascites had normal values of nitrate levels. In the group of patients not treated with diuretics (n = 38), creatinine and nitrate clearances were lower in ascitic patients than in nonascitic patients (respectively 0.82 +/- 0.12 vs 1.48 +/- 0.32 ml/s, p < 0.02 and 0.30 +/- 0.07 vs 2.89 +/- 2.04 ml/s, p < 0.05). Endotoxin levels were higher in patients with cirrhosis than in control subjects and paralleled the severity of liver failure (Child A/B/C vs control subjects: 0.056 +/- 0.014/0.064 +/- 0.005/ 0.090 +/- 0.008 vs 0.027 +/- 0.005 Endotoxin Units/ml, p < 0.001). Serum nitrate levels did not correlate with endotoxemia (r = -0.110). On the other hand, levels of orosomucoid, a protein synthesized by the liver in response to a stimulation by cytokines correlated with those of nitrate (respe...Continue Reading

Anemia

Anemia develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells. Anemia of inflammation (AI, also called anemia of chronic disease) is a common, typically normocytic, normochromic anemia that is caused by an underlying inflammatory disease. Here is the latest research on anemia.
