Rifaximin has no effect on hemodynamics in decompensated cirrhosis: A randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled trial

Four weeks of treatment with rifaximin did not reduce the hepatic venous pressure gradient or improve systemic hemodynamics in patients with cirrhosis and ascites; rifaximin did not affect glomerular filtration rate or levels of vasoactive hormones. (Hepatology 2017;65:592-603).
