Primary Outcome Measures

Full response
the proportion of patients achieved full response defined as return of serum creatinine to a value within 0.3 mg/dl of the baseline value

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Hepatorenal syndrome is a functional renal impairment occurring in cirrhotic patients . It develops secondary to splanchnic arterial vasodilatation which decreases the effective blood volume, activate the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, and stimulate of sympathetic nervous system.This study aims to compare the efficacy of nor-epinephrine versus midodrine/ octreotide, together with intravenous albumin on renal functions of patients with hepatorenal acute kidney injury.
