Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To evaluate the effect of albumin administration, midodrine and octreotide on renal function in patients with liver cirrhosis with serum creatinine above 1.2 mg / dL.;Secondary Objective: 1. To assess the relationship between treatment response and the activity of endogenous vasoactive systems, plasma renin activity, plasma aldosterone, norepinephrine, vasopressin and atrial natriuretic peptide. 2. To assess the relationship between response to treatment with blood pressure changes measured by Holter tension. 3. Evaluate the deterioration of renal function in the short term after stopping treatment in responders. 4. To evaluate the presence of bacterial DNA in blood of patients at different times and its correlation with response to treatment.;Primary end point(s): Change in glomerular filtration rate measured by isotopic tests at 12 weeks of starting treatment.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Change in glomerular filtration rate measured by isotopic tests at 12 weeks of starting treatment. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): ? Changes in plasma renin activity, plasma aldosterone and norepinephrine at 4, 12 and 16 weeks. ? Changes in blood pressure measured by Holter voltage at 4, 12 and 16 weeks. ? Changes in renal function at 4 weeks after cessation of treatment (week 16);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: ? Changes in plasma renin activity, plasma aldosterone and norepinephrine at 4, 12 and 16 weeks. ? Changes in blood pressure measured by Holter voltage at 4, 12 and 16 weeks. ? Changes in renal function at 4 weeks after cessation of treatment (week 16) | — |
