Conditions

Cirrhosis, Hepatorenal Syndrome Type I

Brief summary

Observe the effect of terlipressin on renal function in patients with SHR type I adjusting the dose based on hemodynamic response.

Interventions

Terlipressin dose: 2mg/24h, it will be modified depending on: Arterial pressure increase \< 10 mmHg and the creatinine values decrease \<25%, it will be increased every 8 hours until reaching an increase of at least 10mmHg arterial pressure or a creatinine decrease of the 25%. Albumin: Initial dose (first day) of 1g/Kg (up to a maximum of 100g) and the following days from 20 to 40 g/day.
