The International Journal of Artificial Organs, 05/15/09
Fabrizi F et al. - The meta-analysis shows that terlipressin has higher efficacy than placebo in reversing renal function in the HRS population. There was no apparent impact of terlipressin therapy on survival in HRS patients but further large-size trials are needed. Terlipressin use in the HRS population requires careful selection of patients and close clinical surveillance. These results support the use of terlipressin for reversal of renal function in the HRS population.
