clonidine and Liver Cirrhosis

clonidine has been researched along with Liver Cirrhosis in 12 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.

Liver Cirrhosis: Liver disease in which the normal microcirculation, the gross vascular anatomy, and the hepatic architecture have been variably destroyed and altered with fibrous septa surrounding regenerated or regenerating parenchymal nodules.

"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)
"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. ( Codden, T; Henry, JP; Legros, F; Lenaerts, A; Ligny, G, 2005)
"The absence of any effects on the parameters of portal haemodynamics would appear to deny clonidine any significant role in preventing first bleeding resulting from the rupture of oesophageal varices."5.08Effects of propranolol compared with clonidine on portal haemodynamics: a double-blind cross-over study using duplex-Doppler ultrasonography. ( Cioni, G; Cristani, A; D'Alimonte, P; Romagnoli, R; Tincani, E; Turrini, F; Ventura, E, 1995)
"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."5.07Long-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)
"Clonidine is an α(2)-adrenoceptor agonist which, by coupling with G-protein, has been proposed as an alternative treatment for refractory ascites of patients with cirrhosis for several years."2.75Association of the G-protein and α2-adrenergic receptor gene and plasma norepinephrine level with clonidine improvement of the effects of diuretics in patients with cirrhosis with refractory ascites: a randomised clinical trial.
