AB  - A better understanding of intra-abdominal hypertension with relation to the liver 
      is vital to the management of all forms of liver pathophysiology. Supporting good 
      hepatic function within the critically ill patient is important not only in 
      maintaining synthetic function, but also in avoiding the multi-organ 
      complications of liver dysfunction. The resulting reduction in hepato-splanchnic 
      blood flow (HSBF) observed with increasing intra-abdominal pressure has been 
      clearly documented and seen to be exaggerated in animals with established liver 
      disease. Unfortunately the tools required to measure this, remain difficult to 
      apply routinely in the clinical setting and as such goal directed therapy to 
      specifically improve the hepatosplanchnic circulation remains elusive. Given the 
      documented effects of IAP on HSBF and the relatively high incidence of 
      intra-abdominal hypertension and the abdominal compartment syndrome within "liver 
      patients" as a whole, close attention to IAP and timely correction by appropriate 
      medical or surgical means would appear to be essential.
