| Core Tip |
Cirrhosis is a major cause of death and affects over 300 million people worldwide. Portal hypertension is a life-threatening complication of cirrhosis, characterized by splanchnic vasodilatation, the formation of varices and variceal bleeding, which account for much of the mortality and morbidity in cirrhotic patients. Current ‘gold standard’ clinical treatment is non-selective b-blockers; however, their efficacy and tolerability are suboptimal. Recent findings from the author’s laboratory and others suggest that the alternate renin angiotensin system is a potential target to design and develop novel therapeutics to inhibit splanchnic vasodilatation in cirrhotic portal hypertension. |
