Brief Summary

2.2 Aim(s) of the Research (50 words max): To Compare between crystalloid and colloid I.V fluid therapy in the prevention of paracentesis induced circulatory dysfunction (PICD) and renal dysfunction in patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis in Egypt. To evaluate systemic vascular resistance in cirrhotic patients with tense ascites before and after therapeutic paracentesis.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Paracentesis enduced circulatory dysfunction

    The primary endpoint will be taken as the development of PICD. PICD will be defined as a significant drop in systemic vascular resistance before and after paracentesis using paired t-test with P-value \< 0.05.

    Baseline

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Paracentesis induced renal impairment

    Baseline

Study Arms (2)

Crystalloid group

Group( 1)Patients will be randomly assigned to be treated with crystalloid (n=30). They will receive an intravenous infusion of saline at a constant rate utilizing a pump infusion device (170 mL of 3.5% saline solution per liter of ascites removed at 999 mL/h). The amount of liquid infused and rate of infusion was selected based on previous studies (Sola-vera et al.,2003) Group (2)Patients will be randomly assigned to be treated with colloid (n=30). Albumin will be given at a dose of 8 g/L of ascitic fluid removed and will be infused immediately during the process of paracentesis. After paracentesis, diuretics and plasma expanders will be withheld until hospital discharge.

Other: Paracentesis

Colloid group

Group (2)Patients will be randomly assigned to be treated with colloid (n=30). Albumin will be given at a dose of 8 g/L of ascitic fluid removed and will be infused immediately during the process of paracentesis. After paracentesis, diuretics and plasma expanders will be withheld until hospital discharge.

Other: Paracentesis

Interventions

Study Population

Patients will be randomly divided into two groups: Group( 1)Patients will be randomly assigned to be treated with crystalloid (n=30). They will receive an intravenous infusion of saline at a constant rate utilizing a pump infusion device (170 mL of 3.5% saline solution per liter of ascites removed at 999 mL/h). The amount of liquid infused and rate of infusion was selected based on previous studies (Sola-vera et al.,2003) Group (2)Patients will be randomly assigned to be treated with colloid (n=30). Albumin will be given at a dose of 8 g/L of ascitic fluid removed and will be infused immediately during the process of paracentesis. After paracentesis, diuretics and plasma expanders will be withheld until hospital discharge.

You may qualify if:

  • Patients less than 70 years of age and more than 18 years, diagnosed as having liver cirrhosis with tense refractory ascites (\> 5 liters). These diagnoses are determined by clinical, biochemical, morphological, and sonographic criteria.

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients with blood pressure \< 90/60 mmHg, and or HR \> 110 b/m Patients with heart disease, pulmonary disease, alcohol consumption, pregnancy, hepatorenal syndrome Patients with hepatic encephalopathy, hepatorenal syndrome, or recent GIT haemorrage in last week Patients with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis or sepsis. Prothrombin time less than 30%, platelet count less than 30,000/mm3, serum creatinine level greater than 240 mmol/l Patients receiving any drugs that could interfere with cardiovascular, hepatic, or renal function, however, the use of diuretics and/or beta-blockers were permitted, but they were temporarily discontinued for 2 days before the investigations to eliminate the pharmacological influence on systemic vascular resistance work or volume status
