title: [Vasodilation in cirrhosis: is CGRP (calcitonin gene-related peptide) also among the possible mediators?].
abstract: According to cirrhotic patient's hyperkinetic circulatory state and to different pathophysiologic moments of kidney and liver failure, it is suggested that in cirrhosis a vasoactive balance is changed to more active vasodilatation. Also calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is likely involved in this change.
