Hepatic blood flow in patients with alcoholic liver cirrhosis

Abstract

This research is devoted to studying of hepatic blood low in patients with alcoholic liver cirrhosis (ALC). The presence of endothelial dysfunction (ED) in cirrhotic patioens directly corre ates with with the diameter of portal vein (r=0.673) (p<0.05) and with the level of nitrogen monoxide (r=-0.821) (p<0.05) and the indicator endothelium dependent vasodilation (EDVD) (r=-0.673). So, ED is an additional independent predictor of portal hypertension (PH) forming in pationts with ALC as the expression of nitrogen monoxide in ED pationts is significantly reduced, whick creates prerequisites for the growth of resistance in the portal vein system and forming PH.
