  • Publication number: 20220143132
    Abstract: The principles and embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods for using terlipressin to treat a patient having impaired renal function associated with liver disease. A patient identified as suffering from HRS-1 is tested to determine if the patient meets at least two out of three criteria, wherein the three criteria include a WBC<4 or >12 cells/4; HR>90 bpm; and any one of HCO3<21 mmol/L or PaCO2<32 mmHg or >20 breaths per minute. If the patient meets at least two of the criteria, he or she is administered terlipressin in an amount effective to produce a reduction in serum creatinine of at least 1.0 mg/dL.

  • Publication number: 20210128676
    Abstract: The principles and embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods of increasing survival of a patient having type 1 hepatorenal syndrome (HRS-1) and low mean arterial pressure (MAP). The methods may include identifying a patient having HRS-1 that has a baseline MAP of less than 65 mmHg, and administering, to the patient, an amount of terlipressin effective to treat the HRS-1 in the patient. In other aspects, the method may include administering an effective dose of terlipressin to a patient in need thereof every 6 hours by intravenous (IV) bolus injection over 2 minutes, where the dose is sufficient to yield an increase in MAP and decrease in heart rate in the patient. The patient may not have overt sepsis, septic shock, or uncontrolled infection.

  • Publication number: 20200237856
    Abstract: The principles and embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods for using terlipressin to treat a patient having impaired renal function associated with liver disease. A method of treating an adult patient with type 1 hepatorenal syndrome (HRS-1) may include assessing a baseline serum creatinine level prior to administration of terlipressin to the patient, initiating dosing of about 0.5 mg to about 1 mg of terlipressin to the patient every 6 hours by IV for 1-3 days, assessing a serum creatinine level in the patient at day 4±1 day from initiating dosing, administering a modified dosage of terlipressin based on a comparison of the assessed serum creatinine level at day 4±1 day and the baseline serum creatinine level, and continuing administration until 24 hours after two consecutive serum creatinine levels of ?1.5 mg/dL at least 2 hours apart for a maximum of 14 days. The treatment may result in verified reversal of the HRS-1.
