  • Title: [Concentration and reinfusion of ascitic fluid in liver cirrhosis].
    Author: Mian G, Triolo L, Magris D, de Savorgnani MN, G'Agnolo B.
    Journal: Minerva Med; 1979 Sep 29; 70(42):2869-72. PubMed ID: 492554.
    Abstract:
    46 concentration-reinfusion treatments were performed on 36 patients, suffering from refractory ascites for liver cirrhosis. The procedure was well tolerated, improved the status of the patients and enabled diuretic to be effective again, in some cases for as long as two years. The usefulness of infusing autologous, non-denatured proteins in high dosage is stressed. The Authors belive that hepatorenal syndrome, severe hypokaliemia or hyposodemia and encephalopathy are the elective indications for the treatment.
