N2 - Inflammation may be implicated in the haemodynamic deterioration and in the development of complications in patients with cirrhosis. High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) is a marker of low-grade inflammation, and predicts outcomes in patients at risk of ischaemic heart disease. Proinflammatory cytokines reflect immune activation and have been found to be elevated in cirrhosis. We investigated a possible association between markers of inflammation and splanchnic and systemic haemodynamics, complications and survival in patients with cirrhosis.
