摘 要:BACKGROUND Bacterial translocation exacerbates the hyperdynamic circulation observed in cirrhosis and contributes to a more severe disease *** may reduce bacterial translocation and may therefore be useful to redress the circulatory *** To investigate the effect of probiotics on hemodynamic parameters,systemic inflammation,and complications of cirrhosis in this randomized placebocontrolled *** This single-blind randomized placebo-controlled study included 40 patients with Child-Pugh class B and C cirrhosis;24 patients received probiotics(Saccharomyces boulardii)for 3 mo,and 16 patients received a placebo over the same *** function and the systemic hemodynamic status were evaluated pre-and *** and simultaneous blood pressure and heart rate monitoring were performed to evaluate systemic hemodynamic *** output and systemic vascular resistance were *** Following a 3-mo course of probiotics in comparison to the control group,we observed amelioration of hyperdynamic circulation[a decrease in cardiac output(P=0.026)and an increase in systemic vascular resistance(P=0.026)]and systemic inflammation[a decrease in serum C-reactive protein levels(P=0.044)],with improved liver function[an increase in serum albumin(P=0.001)and a decrease in the value of Child-Pugh score(P=0.001)]as well as a reduction in the severity of ascites(P=0.022),hepatic encephalopathy(P=0.048),and cholestasis[a decrease in serum alkaline phosphatase(P=0.016)and serum gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase(P=0.039)activity]and an increase in platelet counts(P0.001)and serum sodium level(P=0.048).CONCLUSION Probiotic administration was associated with amelioration of hyperdynamic circulation and the associated complications of cirrhosis.
