Inkompensation

S Møller, Jens Henrik Sahl Henriksen

    Abstract

    Fluid and sodium retention with peripheral oedema and ascites are often seen in decompensated patients with diseases of the liver, kidney and heart and in malignancies. Despite a careful clinical examination including relevant biochemical tests, decompensation is associated with diagnostic challenges. Two cases are presented where a haemodynamic investigation of the splanchnic and systemic circulation contributed to the establishment of a correct diagnosis, and the advantages of this diagnostic tool are discussed.
