Could Gut-Liver Function Derangements Cause Chronic Venous Insufficiency?

Published: Mar 1, 2001
Abstract
Upregulation of adhesion molecules and neutrophil infiltration of venous valve cusps may be risk factors for chronic venous insufficiency. But studies that focus on the target organ (vein) fail to consider the influence of systemic inflammation on WBC behavior in the microcirculation. This study probes the gut-liver axis as a potential source of gut-derived oxidative stress and free radical production leading to white blood cell activation in...
