Corticosteroid Therapy Improves the Outcome of Autoimmune Hepatitis-Induced Acute Liver Failure.

abstract：:Autonomic hyperactivity with increased cardiac output and other manifestations occurs in patients with both cirrhosis and noncirrhotic portal hypertension. The role of the disordered hepatic autonomic innervation in the mediation of these abnormalities is unknown. We have studied the hepatic nerve network and associat...
