Safety and efficacy of continuous terlipressin infusion in HRS-AKI in a transplant population
Hepatorenal syndrome-acute kidney injury (HRS-AKI) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. While liver transplantation is the definitive treatment, continuous terlipressin infusion for HRS-AKI may provide benefit and, as such, was assessed in a population composed of candidates for liver transplant (LT). Fifty hospitalized LT-eligible patients with HRS-AKI received a single bolus followed by continuous terlipressin infusion. Acute-on-chronic liver failure grade 3, serum creatinine (SCr) > 5.0 mg/dL, or Model for End- Stage Liver Disease (MELD) ≥35 were exclusions.
