Study 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.
Primary Outcome
SCr will be collected daily, from Day 1 thru end of treatment. Complete response (CR) defined as ≥30% decrease in SCr with EOT SCr≤1.5, partial response (PR) as ≥30% decrease in SCr with EOT SCr\>1.5, and non-response (NR) as \<30% decrease in SCr.
