Figure 2 Probability of developing recurrent ascites in the albumin (control) group compared with the vasoconstrictor (study) group. There were no differences in recurrence of ascites with a median time to recurrence of 10 days in the albumin group and 8 days in the vasoconstrictor group (P = .318).

Figure 3 (A) Changes in individual plasma renin activity at randomization (day 0) and at day 6 in the albumin (control group). Two of 11 (18%) patients (solid line) developed postparacentesis circulatory dysfunction. (B) Changes in individual plasma renin activity at randomization (day 0) and at day 6 in the vasoconstrictor (study group). Two of 8 (25%) patients (solid line) developed postparacentesis circulatory dysfunction. Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology , DOI: ( /j.cgh ) Copyright © 2012 AGA Institute Terms and Conditions
