Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Does nitric oxide synthase inhibition improve renal function in cirrhotic patients with ascites?
Answer: Despite a partial correction of the hyperdynamic circulation, inhibition of NO synthesis does not improve sodium and water excretion in decompensated cirrhosis, probably because of an accompanying decrease in renal plasma flow. Intrarenal NO synthesis may be important for maintaining intrarenal hemodynamics in decompensated cirrhotic patients.
Output (English): no
