Abstract:

Objective To investigate the factors influencing hyperdynamic circulation-related indicators in patients with liver cirrhosis and ascites. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 377 patients diagnosed with cirrhosis-associated ascites at the Third People's Hospital of Kunming between October 2022 and October 2024. Patients were categorized into grade 1, grade 2, and grade 3 ascites groups according to ascites severity grading. The general demographic characteristics and clinical parameters of the three groups were compared. Potential positive predictors were initially identified through univariate analyses, including Spearman correlation and non-parametric tests. Binary logistic regression and multiple linear regression models were subsequently employed to investigate the factors influencing high dynamic circulation-related indicators (heart rate [HR], E/A ratio, and left ventricular diastolic function [LVDF]) in patients with cirrhosis-related ascites. Results Significant differences in the incidence of HR, the ratio of early to late diastolic filling velocities (E/A), and LVDF were observed among different ascites groups (P < 0.05). Age, ascites depth, serum chloride (Cl-), CO2, red cell distribution width coefficient of variation (RDW-CV), and etiology were identified as independent determinants of HR in patients with liver cirrhosis and ascites. Age, white blood cell count (WBC), albumin (ALB), and etiology were independent determinants of E/A in patients with liver cirrhosis and ascites. Age (OR = 1.088, 95%CI 1.062–1.114, P < 0.001) and serum potassium (K+) (OR = 1.919, 95%CI 1.218–3.025, P = 0.005) were independent risk factors for LVDF in patients with cirrhotic ascites, whereas RDW-CV (OR = 0.902, 95%CI 0.883–0.961, P = 0.023) and ALB (OR = 0.921, 95%CI 0.883–0.961, P < 0.001) were identified as protective factors. Conclusions Serum ALB is an independent influencing factor for E/A ratio and LVDF in cirrhotic patients with ascites and hyperdynamic circulation. K+ and RDW-CV are also independent predictors of LVDF, whereas Cl- independently influences heart rate. Clinical monitoring and targeted intervention for these parameters should be emphasized.
