clonidine and Ascites

clonidine has been researched along with Ascites in 9 studies

Clonidine: An imidazoline sympatholytic agent that stimulates ALPHA-2 ADRENERGIC RECEPTORS and central IMIDAZOLINE RECEPTORS. It is commonly used in the management of HYPERTENSION.
clonidine (amino form) : A clonidine that is 4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-amine in which one of the amino hydrogens is replaced by a 2,6-dichlorophenyl group.

Ascites: Accumulation or retention of free fluid within the peritoneal cavity.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Sixty cirrhotic patients with refractory or recurrent ascites were prospectively studied after long-term administration of clonidine (n=15) or midodrine (n=15), or both (n=15) plus standard medical therapy (SMT), or SMT alone (n=15), in a randomized controlled trial at a tertiary center."9.17Midodrine and clonidine in patients with cirrhosis and refractory or recurrent ascites: a randomized pilot study. ( Bhalla, A; Ghai, A; Sharma, N; Singh, A; Singh, B; Singh, V; Vijayvergiya, R, 2013)
"To study the usefulness of the combination of clonidine--spironolactone in refractory ascites."9.11Comparative pilot study of repeated large volume paracentesis vs the combination on clonidine-spironolactone in the treatment of cirrhosis-associated refractory ascites. ( Codden, T; Henry, JP; Legros, F; Lenaerts, A; Ligny, G, 2005)
"The aim of the present study was to examine the short- and long-term effects of the alpha 2-agonist clonidine on sympathetic overactivity, systemic, splanchnic, and renal circulation changes, and abnormal renal sodium excretion in cirrhotic patients with ascites."9.07Long-term sympathetic and hemodynamic responses to clonidine in patients with cirrhosis and ascites. ( Bacq, Y; Braillon, A; Frohly, P; Gaudin, C; Hadengue, A; Lebrec, D; Moreau, R; Roulot, D, 1992)
"In human cirrhosis, adrenergic hyperfunction causes proximal tubular fluid retention and contributes to diuretic-resistant ascites, and clonidine, a sympatholytic drug, improves natriuresis in difficult-to-treat ascites."7.83Alpha-2A Adrenoceptor Agonist Guanfacine Restores Diuretic Efficiency in Experimental Cirrhotic Ascites: Comparison with Clonidine.

( Bhalla, A; Ghai, A; Sharma, N; Singh, A; Singh, B; Singh, V; Vijayvergiya, R, 2013)
"The effects of the addition of clonidine to diuretics on the mobilization of ascites in the short term (diuretic response and requirement of diuretics) and the long term (readmissions for tense ascites and requirement of diuretics) were examined in patients with cirrhosis and with increased sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activity."5.12Effects of clonidine on diuretic response in ascitic patients with cirrhosis and activation of sympathetic nervous system. ( Codden, T; Henry, JP; Lenaerts, A; Ligny, G; Meunier, JC, 2006)
"To study the usefulness of the combination of clonidine--spironolactone in refractory ascites."5.11Comparative pilot study of repeated large volume paracentesis vs the combination on clonidine-spironolactone in the treatment of cirrhosis-associated refractory ascites.
