    Abstract

    Fluid and sodium retention with peripheral oedema and ascites are often seen in decompensated patients with diseases of the liver, kidney and heart and in malignancies. Despite a careful clinical examination including relevant biochemical tests, decompensation is associated with diagnostic challenges. Two cases are presented where a haemodynamic investigation of the splanchnic and systemic circulation contributed to the establishment of a correct diagnosis, and the advantages of this diagnostic tool are discussed.
