Spironolactone therapy usually startsat a dose of SO-I00 mg/day, although doses of up to 600 mg have been used safely and effectively. If maximal doses of spironolactone do not cause an adequate diuresis, a loop diuretic can be given and spironolactone continued. In cirrhotic patients with ascites and no peripheral edema, the reabsorptive capacity of the peritoneal capillaries and lymphatics is limited to about 300-900 mL/day.

This response is homeostatic in the sense that some of the retained Nil' and water contributes to vascular volume, which in turn increases cardiac filling pressures, cardiac output, and systemic pressure. Although some of the Edema 23 extra volume stays within the vascular compartment, the remainder enters the interstitium and eventually appears clinically as edema. Because arterial filling pressures are the most tightly regulated, the response to what the arterial baroreceptors sense overrides signals from the low-pressure system and Na', and water retention usually continues despite the release of ANP from the dilating atria.
