Sympathetic Nervous Regulation in Patients with Cirrhosis: Pathogenesis of Fluid Retention and Formation of Ascites by Jens H Henriksen, Helmer Ring-Larsen, Niels Juel Christensen

“…Reduced central and arterial blood volume and low arterial blood pressure secondary to peripheral vasodilation are probably important afferent stimuli for enhanced sympathetic nervous activity, although a nonvolume-dependent hepatic baroreceptor may also be present. The authors conclude that the sympathetic nervous system, in concert with other regulatory systems, plays an important role in sodium-water homeostasis and fluid retention, as well as in the systemic and hepatosplanchnic circulatory derangement seen in patients with cirrhosis.…”
