Serum and urinary nitrate levels in liver cirrhosis: endotoxemia, renal function and hyperdynamic circulation

Background/Aims: The relationship between nitric oxide production, endotoxemia, renal function and hyperdynamic circulatory syndrome has not been yet investigated in patients with cirrhosis. Methods: Serum and urine nitrate, endotoxemia and cardiac index were measured in 59 patients with cirrhosis....

Zusammenfassung:Background/Aims: The relationship between nitric oxide production, endotoxemia, renal function and hyperdynamic circulatory syndrome has not been yet investigated in patients with cirrhosis. Methods: Serum and urine nitrate, endotoxemia and cardiac index were measured in 59 patients with cirrhosis. Results: Patients with a tense ascites had higher serum nitrate levels than health control subjects (39±7 vs 19±4 μmol/l, p
