Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Focusing on the low risk of cardiovascular events in chronic liver disease (CLD), arterial stiffness, vascular endothelial function, cardiac output, and blood nitric oxide (NO) were evaluated. Furthermore, before and after percutaneous endovascular procedures such as PSE (Partial Splenic Embolization) and B-RTO (balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration) for portal hypertensive complications, endogenous N We analyzed the DDAH/ADMA/NOS/NO pathway, including the endogenous NOS inhibitor ADMA (methylarginine derivative), which is attracting attention as a NO-regulating pathway, and examined the mechanism of NO elevation and its effect on the pathogenesis of the disease.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
門脈圧亢進症は、肝硬変により門脈圧が上昇し、様々な合併症を引き起こす病態として知られている。この治療法として、外科的治療のほか、内視鏡的治療や経皮的血管内治療、さらには薬物療法としてβブロッカー、アンジオテンシンⅡ受容体拮抗薬(ARB: angiotensin II receptor blocker )などの複数の選択肢が挙げられるが治療方法の選択ガイドラインは明らかになっていない。循環器領域の視点からNO調節経路と病態との関連が明らかになれば治療方法選択のガイドラインが明らかになる可能性もある。
