HRS-AKI Treatment With TIPS in Patients With Cirrhosis
CirrhosisLiver3 moreThe study compares the effectiveness and safety of TIPS implantation in patients with HRS-AKI (stage 2 and 3) and liver cirrhosis with standard therapy (drug therapy with terlipressin + albumin).

Acute Kidney InjuryHepatorenal SyndromeThis research study is being done to learn what effect 7 days of treatment with the Selective Cytopheretic Device (SCD) will have on these white blood cells in the bloodstream of patients with hepatorenal syndrome and to learn whether it has any effect on the blood circulation and kidney function.

Hepatorenal SyndromeAcute Kidney InjuryThis study aims to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of R2R01 combined with terlipressin as compared to terlipressin alone in the treatment of patients with HRS-AKI
A Study of OCE-205 in Participants With Cirrhosis With Ascites Who Developed Hepatorenal Syndrome-Acute...
CirrhosisAscites2 moreOCE-205 is being tested to treat participants who have developed Hepatorenal Syndrome-Acute Kidney Injury as a complication of cirrhosis with ascites. The study aims are to evaluate the safety and efficacy of OCE-205 at various doses. Participants will receive treatment by intravenous infusion. Participants will continue with this treatment until participants meets primary endpoint or any discontinuation criteria.
Terlipressin for HRS-AKI in Liver Transplant Candidates (INFUSE)
Hepatorenal SyndromeHepatorenal syndrome-acute kidney injury (HRS-AKI), a potentially reversible renal failure, is a serious, rapidly progressing, often fatal, complication of decompensated cirrhosis. Terlipressin is a synthetic vasopressin analogue that acts as a systemic vasoconstrictor via the vascular vasopressin V1 receptors. In HRS-AKI patients the strong V1 receptor-mediated vasoconstrictor activity of terlipressin, particularly in the splanchnic area, increases effective intravascular volume and mean arterial pressure (MAP), ameliorates renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and sympathetic nervous system hyperactivity, and improves renal blood flow. The INFUSE trial will evaluate the use of continuous terlipressin infusion in patients on the liver transplant waiting list with HRS-AKI.
NEPH-ROSIS (NEPHrology in CirRhOSIS) Pilot Trial: A Trial to Treat Acute Kidney Injury Among Hospitalized...
Acute Kidney InjuryCirrhosis4 moreThe goal of this pilot, randomized, single-blind clinical trial is to estimate the effect size of a high and low mean arterial pressure (MAP)-target algorithm among cirrhosis patients hospitalized with acute kidney injury. The main aims to answer are: • Does an algorithm that has low (<80 mmHg) and high (≥80) MAP-targets lead to significant differences in mean arterial pressure? • Are there any serious adverse events (e.g., ischemia) in a high blood pressure algorithm as compared to a low blood pressure algorithm? • Are there any differences in the incidence of AKI reversal in the high v. low MAP-target groups? Participants will be: 1) Randomized to a clinical algorithm that will either target a low (<80 mmHg) or high (≥80 mmHg) MAP. 2) Depending on their group, investigators will titrate commonly used medications to a specific MAP target. Researchers will compare the high and low MAP-target groups to see if these algorithms lead to significant changes in MAP, if they have any impact on AKI reversal, and if there are any adverse events in the high MAP-target group.
A Retrospective Analysis of Outcomes in Patients With Hepatorenal Syndrome at Methodist Dallas Medical...
Hepatorenal SyndromeHepatorenal syndrome (HRS) is a common cause of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with liver disease [1]. Increased activity and presence of vasodilators such as nitric oxide in cirrhotic patients leads to vasodilation, especially in the splanchnic circulation, resulting in hemodynamic changes that precipitate renal injury [1]. Patients may present with elevated serum creatinine (Cr), benign urine sediment, and low urine sodium [1].
Treatment of Hepatorenal Syndrome With Terlipressin Plus Albumin vs Albumin
CirrhosisHepatorenal SyndromeHepatorenal syndrome is a common complication of cirrhotic patients. The prognosis of patients with HRS is very poor. It have been demonstrated that vasoconstrictors agents (Terlipressin) plus albumin are effective in the reversal of the treatment. However, previous studies are pilot studies and they are not able to give information about an improvement in survival. This comparative randomized study was delineated to test the efficacy of terlipressin on survival.

Kidney FailureAcuteEvaluation of non-invasive prognostic parameters in patients developing ACLF and renal failure in patients receiving and not receiving transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS). Patients are cared according to the local standardized follow up program. Clinical and laboratory data from standard patient care are evaluated for potential prognostic value.
International Registry of Acute Kidney Injury in Cirrhosis: The GLOBAL AKI Project
Liver CirrhosisAcute Kidney Injury1 moreThe aims of this study will be to identify the clinical characteristics, the management and the outcomes of acute kidney injury in patients with cirrhosis worldwide. Specific aims: To establish the severity of AKI across different regions To identify precipitants of AKI across different centers To identify the phenotypes of AKI across different centers To evaluate differences in the management of AKI across different centers and their impact on clinical outcomes To assess outcomes of acute kidney injury (resolution of AKI, in-hospital mortality, 28-day mortality, 90-day mortality)
