We investigated the pharmacokinetics of propranolol in patients with chronic liver disease compared to that in healthy individuals
Our study showed that the use of β 1 ‐selective blockers is associated with lower risks of major cardiac and cerebrovascular events

Propranolol had significantly reduced variceal re-bleeding in cirrhosis patients Citation 4 and recommended for pre, primary and secondary prophylaxis of cirrhotic variceal bleeding
Especially in elderly cirrhotic patients, the risk of falls due to exercise can increase, and exercise in cirrhotic patients with varices Hemangiomas, also called infantile hemangiomas (IH) or hemangiomas of infancy are the most frequently seen benign vascular tumors of infancy
Aim
However, it is unknown if propranolol improves fibrogenesis and sinusoidal remodeling in the cirrhotic liver
The use of NSBBs lowers the risk of first variceal bleed and also prevents recurrent variceal hemorrhage
The most common causes of cirrhosis include fatty liver due to obesity, alcohol use disorder, and chronic hepatitis B or C
Methods: Cirrhosis patients with ≥ grade 2 ascites and varices needing primary prophylaxis were randomly assigned to receive either PPL (n = 80) or EVL (n = 80)
Studies that fulfilled the following criteria were included in the present meta analysis: (a) propranolol was compared with placebo; (b) patients were randomly assigned to the treatment regimen, and studies were prospective; (c) patients with cirrhosis of liver were included; (d) outcomes of primary or recurrent bleeding, and death were assessed; (e) results were published Aim: To assess the effects of propranolol as compared with placebo on gastrointestinal hemorrhage and total mortality in cirrhotic patients by using meta analysis of 20 published randomized clinical trials
73 patients with HVPG ≥ 12 mm Hg randomized to propranolol monotherapy (n = 54) or rifaximin (1,200 mg The aims of the study were to determine the single dose and the steady-state dose pharmacokinetic profiles of propranolol in cirrhotic Malay patients and to compare the pharmacokinetic parameters of the two conditions
When esophageal varices rupture, bleeding may be Malnutrition occurs in 20 to 60% of patients with cirrhosis, and current guidelines recommend a daily protein intake of 1
Propranolol, a non-selective beta blocker (NSBB) is routinely used as primary or secondary prophylaxis against variceal bleeding in patients with liver cirrhosis [Citation 8]

Results
This study aimed to compare transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) with covered stents versus endoscopic band ligation (EBL) plus propranolol for the prevention of variceal rebleeding among patients with cirrhosis and PVT

Conclusions: In patients with decompensated cirrhosis, we found an association between propranolol use and reduced mortality risk for doses lower than 160 mg/day

In addition, propranolol also reduces variceal pressure (), pulse rate and cardiac output without influencing The mean (±SD) follow-up period was 10

Esophageal varices are present in 50-60% of patients with compensated cirrhosis and up to 85% in patients with decompensated cirrhosis
Propranolol was the first, most widely studied NSBB and mainstream for treatment of portal hypertension
In this case report, we present a patient with liver cirrhosis due to excessive alcohol consumption who presented to the emergency department with disorientation and signs of infection
However, a series of recent studies Despite higher degree of HVPG response, long-term clinical, survival and safety outcomes in carvedilol are similar to those of propranolol in patients with decompensated cirrhosis after index variceal bleed with the exception of ascites that developed less frequently in patients with carvedilol
Mortality during the first episode is estimated to 15-20% [ 3 ], but is higher in severe patients (Child Pugh C), at around 30% Ten patients with cirrhosis and protal hypertension received an initial 20 mg oral test dose of propranolol and subsequently 160 mg of a slow release preparation, orally, each day for seven days
Published articles were selected for study based on a computerized MEDLINE and a manual search of the Cirrhosis continues to claim the lives of people worldwide every year
