Effects and safety of natriuretic peptides as treatment of cirrhotic ascites: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "World Journal of Hepatology"
DOI: 10.4254/wjh.v14.i4.827
Abstract: BACKGROUND Natriuretic peptides are involved in the cascade of pathophysiological events occurring in liver cirrhosis, counterbalancing vasoconstriction and anti-natriuretic factors. The effects of natriuretic peptides as treatment of cirrhotic ascites have been investigated only in… read more here.
