Kristel Leung I’m glad you asked!

If hospitalized, more likely to have acute (on chronic) inflammatory process +/- infxn

Inflammation (ie. TNF-a and IL-1b) causes downregulation of basolateral uptake protein OATP. So less UCB is able to get into hepatocyte for conjugation. (PMID: 23276972)

Is there correlation between ascites amount, pressure changes and symptom (relief with paracentesis? Physiology pearls at the bedside from Elliot Tapper et al.

*️⃣opening pressure & drop not related to pre-para sx.
*️⃣no strong correlation btwn %drop in pressure and %change in sx.

Staying injury-free as a clinician starts with the basics! Adapt the environment to your body, not your body to the environment. Learning from Dr. Angelica Dinopoulos at the CIP symposium Department of Medicine University of Toronto
