Abstract
Sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activation decreases response to diuretics, but both α1-adrenoceptor agonists and sympatholytic α2-adrenoceptor agonists are recommended in the management of ascitic cirrhosis. We intend to compare the effects of increasing doses of clonidine (α2-agonist) vs. midodrine (α1-agonist) in advanced cirrhosis.
