  • Title: [Decompensation].
    Author: Møller S, Henriksen JH.
    Journal: Ugeskr Laeger; 1998 Jan 26; 160(5):654-5. PubMed ID: 9470474.
    Abstract:
    Fluid and sodium retention with peripheral oedema and ascites are often seen in decompensated patients with diseases of the liver, kidney and heart and in malignancies. Despite a careful clinical examination including relevant biochemical tests, decompensation is associated with diagnostic challenges. Two cases are presented where a haemodynamic investigation of the splanchnic and systemic circulation contributed to the establishment of a correct diagnosis, and the advantages of this diagnostic tool are discussed.
