There was no significant difference in forearm muscle blood flow, measured by the clearance of (133)Xenon when 38 patients with liver disease were compared with 38 normal subjects. Patients with a clinically hyperdynamic circulation, finger clubbing, and previous portocaval anastomoses were included in the study. The changes in forearm skeletal muscle blood flow and pulse rate caused by a head-up tilt of 70 degrees were measured in 15 patients with chronic liver disease and 15 age-matched controls. Head-up tilting resulted in significantly less peripheral vasoconstriction and tachycardia in the group with liver disease than in the control group. These results suggest an impairment of baroreceptor-mediated sympathetic reactivity in liver disease. Such a defect might explain the relative rarity of hypertension in patients with cirrhosis.
在比较38例肝病患者和38例正常受试者时,通过(133)氙清除率测量的前臂肌肉血流量没有显著差异。本研究纳入了具有临床高动力循环、杵状指和既往门腔静脉吻合术的患者。在15例慢性肝病患者和15例年龄匹配的对照组中,测量了70度头高位倾斜引起的前臂骨骼肌血流量和脉搏率变化。与对照组相比,肝病组头高位倾斜导致的外周血管收缩和心动过速明显较少。这些结果表明肝病患者压力感受器介导的交感反应受损。这种缺陷可能解释了肝硬化患者高血压相对少见的原因。
