antibiotics, laxatives and/or enemas, thiamine and occasionally steroids, acetylcysteine and pentoxifylline.

Options include: treating the underlying cause of liver damage - for example, treating the underlying

hyponatremia during liver cirrhosis (Figure 1). Our hypothesis will be addressed by the following specific aims: 1. To determine the role of BDNF-TrKB signaling in hyponatremia through sustained AVP release during hepatic cirrhosis. 2. To understand the role of estrogen in preventing the chronic activation of vasopressin neurons in female bile duct ligated rats. These experiments will for the first time define the roles of BDNF-TrkB signaling in the hepatic cirrhosis induced sustained AVP release

Patients with cirrhosis are susceptible to bacterial infections that frequently result in acute-on-chronic liver failure (9-11). Cirrhosis is thought to be the most common immunodeficiency syndrome worldwide with an occurrence of bacterial infections in 30 to 50% of hospitalized patients (12,13). The overall median mortality rate of infected cirrhotic patients is 38% (14). In cirrhosis, sepsis is frequently accompanied by an imbalanced cytokine response

Martinelli et al. (13) who clarified that hypertension and DM were associated with increased risk of PVT. That finding may be attributed to the association of dyslipidemia with diabetes and increased risk of atherosclerosis, so patients with liver cirrhosis and associated diabetes or hypertension carry the risk for PVT more than cirrhotic patients without them. The
