Sponsor's own description

Ascites in liver cirrhosis is explained by increased production of vasoactive substances leading to renal vasoconstriction and salt and water retention. The retained water then accumulates in the peritoneal cavity under the effect of portal hypertension and low albumin. Refractory ascites is defined as ascites that cannot be mobilized or prevented from early recurrence after large-volume paracentesis despite medical therapy and dietary sodium restriction. Midodrine is an α1 receptor agonist that can improve systemic and renal hemodynamics in non-azotemic cirrhotic patients by counteracting mesenteric vasodilatation, which is accentuated in cirrhosis.
