BACKGROUND/AIMS: Acute bleeding from esophageal varices due to portal hypertension is a frequent and severe complication of liver cirrhosis. The development of esophageal varices as well as their rupture depends on the level of portal pressure; however, a number of other factors may play a negative role in the rise of bleeding and its prognosis.
METHODOLOGY: The report presented has compared a set of 46 patients admitted to hospital for acute bleeding with 48 cirrhotics hospitalized for other reasons.
RESULTS: Bleeding patients had significantly higher level of nitrogenous substances (urea 14.1 mmol/L vs. 7.78 mmol/L, p < 0.01, creatinine 129.8 micromol/L vs. 106.04 micromol/L; p = 0.09). The disturbed renal function in itself probably does not increase the risk of bleeding, it may be rather considered a certain prognostic index of the portal hypertension degree. Bleeding patients had a lower level of total protein (60.7 g/L vs. 69.9 g/L; p < 0.01) with only slight insignificant decrease of albumin (26.64 g/L vs. 28.51 g/L). Cirrhotic patients are known to suffer from malnutrition and it is possible that malnutrition shares negatively and directly in the rise of bleeding.
CONCLUSIONS: A prognostic index of mortality was a more conspicuous disorder of hepatic function (bilirubin 97.4 micromol/L vs. 57.4 micromol/L; p = 0.1; prolonged prothrombin time 1.99 INR vs. 1.56 INR; p = 0.01) and again the disorder of renal function (creatinine 166.7 micromol/L vs. 114.9 micromol/L; p = 0.09). Therefore, the maintenance of good renal function must be a component of complex therapy given to bleeding patients.
