Abstract
The results suggest that AQP4 is not directly associated with the development of brain oedema in liver failure, hyperammonaemia, or sepsis. In cirrhosis, there is increased AQP4 protein expression, but membrane polarisation, is maintained, possibly in a compensatory attempt to limit severe brain oedema.
