Recently some of my colleagues made adjustments to move up a paracentesis for a patient by 3 days If you look at this graph below, you can see how mortality from SBP rises by the hour I thanked them for saving a life it turned out our patient had SBP #cirrhosis #livertwitter

We are very excited to be supporting the next ToRcH-UK project - SHiNE-UK. The project will assess the quality of HCC screening in cirrhosis across the UK and is now live to sign up to. We will be encouraging as many Scottish hospitals as possible to join. Good luck SHiNE-UK!

Guidelines are unanimous; For look risk procedures like paracentesis we need not check INR and should not give FFP Liver, gastroenterology, hematology, and interventional radiology societies agree So why the variation in managing “the cirrhotic coagulopathy”? 🧵
