In a rat model, anaphylactic shock causes systemic hypotension through a substantial increase in venous resistance and portal venous pressure, presumably due to hepatic venoconstriction decreasing venous return.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May implicate hepatic venoconstriction in anaphylactic hypotension; leaves open translation to human shock management.
Cui et al. (2008) studied this question.
