Summary

Hepatorenal syndrome-acute kidney injury (HRS-AKI), a potentially reversible renal failure, is a serious, rapidly progressing, often fatal, complication of decompensated cirrhosis. Terlipressin is a synthetic vasopressin analogue that acts as a systemic vasoconstrictor via the vascular vasopressin V1 receptors. In HRS-AKI patients the strong V1 receptor-mediated vasoconstrictor activity of terlipressin, particularly in the splanchnic area, increases effective intravascular volume and mean arterial pressure (MAP), ameliorates renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and sympathetic nervous system hyperactivity, and improves renal blood flow. The INFUSE trial will evaluate the use of continuous terlipressin infusion in patients on the liver transplant waiting list with HRS-AKI.

Conditions

  • Hepatorenal Syndrome

Interventions

DRUG

Terlipressin

For the first dose of terlipressin, each vial will be reconstituted with 5 mL of sterile 0.9% sodium chloride solution and administered intravenously as a bolus injection and given over 1 minute at a dose of 0.5 mg. For continuous infusion, the dose of terlipressin is to be dissolved in 0.9% sodium chloride solution and infused with a pump
