- Abstract
In patients with cirrhosis and spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP), the use of intravenous albumin has been shown to prevent deterioration of renal function and to decrease the mortality rate, but the mechanisms remain unclear. The purpose of this study was to characterize the mechanisms of action of albumin with the focus on endotoxin and cytokines.
