Treatment of Type-1 Hepatorenal Syndrome Associated With Sepsis

"Single-group study (Type-1 Hepatorenal Syndrome Associated With Active Infections) Terlipressin was initially given at a dose of 1 mg/4h as an intravenous bolus for 2 days. If at day 3 serum creatinine had decreased at least 25% of the pretreatment values, the dose of terlipressin was not modified. In the remaining patients, the dose was increased up to a maximum of 2 mg/4h. Terlipressin was given until serum creatinine had decreased below 1.5 mg/dL (133 µmol/L) or for a maximum of 14 days.~In addition to terlipressin, all patients received albumin at a dose of 1g per kg body weight during the first 24 hours, followed by 40g daily,targeted to obtain a central venous pressure (CVP) between 10 and 15 cm of water."
