Brief Summary: We will address the hypothesis that refractory ascites and Type 2 hepatorenal syndrome are mediated in part by diminished circulatory volume and that treatment with midodrine octreotide and albumin can improve renal and patient outcomes by restoring effective circulating volume and systemic perfusion

Our primary objective is to assess change in creatinine clearance using inulin We will enroll 15 patients with Type 2 hepatorenal syndrome or refractory ascites once inclusion and exclusion criteria are satisfied They will be treated for 1 month with octreotide LAR albumin and midodrine Renal serum and neurohormonal parameters will be measured before during and after initiation of drug and compared
