BACKGROUND: It has been suggested that adenosine is involved in the renal haemodynamic and tubular abnormalities observed in cirrhosis. Low-dose theophylline is an adenosine antagonist and recent studies have shown that this drug can improve renal blood flow and sodium excretion in cirrhotic patients.
METHODS: Fifteen patients with newly diagnosed cirrhotic ascites were randomized to receive either 100 mg spironolactone daily for 7 days or 250 mg theophylline on days 1, 2, 4 and 6. Baseline clinical and urinary and serum biochemical data were collected and compared following therapy.
RESULTS: After 7 days of spironolactone there were increases in urinary sodium excretion (43.5 +/- 15.6 vs. 106.8 +/- 34.7 mmol/day; P < 0.05) and urine volume (769.1 +/- 206.5 vs. 1541.6 +/- 342.6 mL/day; P < 0.05). No changes in the patients' weight, creatinine clearance or serum electrolytes were observed. No change was detected in any of these parameters following theophylline therapy.
CONCLUSION: Adenosine antagonism in the form of low-dose theophylline is less efficacious than spironolactone in the management of cirrhotic ascites.
