In liver cirrhosis, renal reabsorption of water and sodium precedes ascites formation. Reduced renal excretory rates can be found in the absence of changes in plasma levels of main systemic hormones. It is possible that intrarenal elevations of antinatriuretic systems participate in retention of water and sodium in early cirrhosis.
