Effect of portacaval anastomosis on renal blood flow in cirrhosis—preliminary results

Abstract

The established end-to-side portacaval shunt is not effective in normalizing the decreased renal blood flow in patients with cirrhosis of the liver. The ability of the side-to-side shunt to offer this effect remains to be decided, and will be so when patients with this type of shunt are added to this study.
