Autonomic Dysfunction and Gastroparesis in Cirrhosis

Abstract

Our results suggest that gastroparesis is common in patients with cirrhosis of the liver, and may account for gastrointestinal symptoms of postprandial abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. The presence of autonomic dysfunction correlates positively with underlying motility disorders, such as delayed gastric emptying.
