About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Septic Shock focused on measuring septic shock, terlipressin, renal perfusion, acute kidney injury

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 85 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Adult septic shock patients (age≥18 years old)
  2. Norepinephrine dose was more than or equal to 15μg/min

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Age older than 85 years
  2. Serum creatinine more than 177 μmol/L
  3. Acute myocardial ischemia
  4. Acute mesenteric artery ischemia
  5. Pregnancy
  6. Expected death within 24 hours.

Sites / Locations

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm Type

Experimental

Placebo Comparator

Arm Label

The terlipressin group

The usual care group

Arm Description

Patients in the terlipressin group received a fixed dose of terlipressin added to usual care. Terlipressin was intravenously pumped at a fixed dose of 1.3μg/kg/hour for 24 hours.

Patients in the usual care group were treated with standard care.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Peak intensity
Peak intensity is the peak concentration of contrast agent, a kind of renal perfusion parameter monitored by renal contrast-enhanced ultrasound.

Secondary Outcome Measures

urine output, mL
urine output with 24 hours
The incidence of acute kidney injury
Defined as serum creatinine increase≥50% within seven days or increase≥26.5 μmol/L within 48 hours

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This open-label, randomized controlled trial aimed to investigate the effect of a fixed dose of terlipressin added to usual care vs. usual care alone on renal perfusion in patients with septic shock.
Detailed Description
Terlipressin is a synthetic vasopressin analog with great affinity to the V1 receptor (vasoconstrictive effect), and could selectively contract efferent arterioles, increase glomerular filtration pressure and renal perfusion. The investigators conducted this open-label, randomized controlled trial to observe the effects of a fixed dose of terlipressin added to usual care vs. usual care alone on renal perfusion in patients with septic shock. Renal perfusion was monitored by renal contrast-enhanced ultrasound. The primary outcome was peak intensity (renal perfusion parameter) at 24 hours after enrollment.
