Abstract
Portal pressure was determined in 10 patients with chronic liver disease before and after an infusion of cimetidine. The drug had no significant effect on portal hypertension. Suggestions that histamine H2-receptor antagonists, by decreasing portal pressure, may be useful in the management of bleeding from esophageal varices are not supported by these results.Entities:
