Brief Summary:
From 1999 several studies have showed that the use of vasoconstrictors in association with albumin are effective in the treatment of hepatorenal syndrome HRS The rationale of the use of vasoconstrictors together with albumin in the treatment of this severe complication of portal hypertension in patients with cirrhosis is to correct the reduction of the effective circulating volume due to the splanchnic arterial vasodilatationIn most of these studies terlipressin a derivate of vasopressin has been used as vasoconstrictor as intravenous boluses moving from an initial dose of 05-1 mg4 hr In some studies midodrine an alpha-adrenergic agonist given by mouth has been used as vasoconstrictor at a dose ranging from 25 up to 125 tid together with octreotide an inhibitor of the release of glucagon given subcutaneously at a dose ranging from 10 µg upt to 200 µg tid To the day there isnt a study comparing terlipressin albumin versus midodrine octreotide albumin in the treatment of HRS in patients with cirrhosisThus the aim of the study is to compare terlipressin albumin vs midodrine octreotide albumin in the treatment of the HRS in patients with cirrhosis
