I am proud to inform that for the FOURTH consecutive year, my name is figured in the list of the World's top 2% scientists (published in Sep 2024 by researchers from Stanford University, USA). From India, I am ranked 18th in the field of Gastroenterology-Hepatology.
Thank you @drnipunverma for highlighting this. I am not sure how many actually use PRA to diagnose PICD.l in practice. Time to introspect PICD definition ?!? #liverx
💡RCT Insight: Adding oral midodrine to albumin after large-volume paracentesis (LVP) in cirrhosis reduces complications 🎯 📉 PICD: No significant difference 🩸 MAP on Day 3: ↑ with midodrine, ↓ with others @APASL_AARC @APASLnews @hepinternation1
