- Cirrhosis progresses from a mild, compensated phase with little symptoms to a severe, decompensated phase, which can include dangerous complications like ascites, variceal bleeding, and hepatorenal or hepatopulmonary syndromes.
- Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) can effectively manage ascites and variceal bleeding when other treatments fail, improving renal function in many patients, but its impacts on overall health, especially regarding systemic blood pressure and pulmonary function, remain controversial.
- Further research, particularly large randomized trials, is required to fully understand the long-term effects of TIPS on renal and pulmonary function in patients with hepatic complications like hepatorenal syndrome (H
