Tsochatzis – 25 October 2016 – Current expressions based on serum creatinine concentration overestimate kidney function in cirrhosis, leading to significant differences between “true” and calculated glomerular filtration rate (GFR).
Nina Kimer, Julie Steen Pedersen, Troels Malte Busk, Lise Lotte Gluud, Lise Hobolth, Aleksander Krag, Søren Møller, Flemming Bendtsen, Copenhagen Rifaximin (CoRif) Study Group – 24 October 2016 – Decompensated cirrhosis is characterized by disturbed systemic and splanchnic hemodynamics. Bacterial translocation from the gut is considered the key driver in this process. Intestinal decontamination with rifaximin may improve hemodynamics.

Recent findings suggest that an overexuberant systemic inflammation plays a primary role in ACLF progression.
