Effect Of Terlipressin Plus Albumin Administration On 24 Hours Urine Volume And Urinary Sodium Excretion In Decompensated Cirrhotic Patients With Tense Ascites

Abstract

Large volume paracentesis is a commonly used treatment method in decompensated cirrhotic patients with tence ascites. However, hypovolemia and arterial vasodilatation that may be caused by paracentesis lead to some negative consequences, such as renal functional impairements, hyponatremia and hepatorenal syndrome all of which are called as “paracentesis-related circulatory dysfunction”. In this study, comparison of efficacy of Terlipressin plus Albumin versus Albumin alone on 24 hours urine volume and urinary sodium excretion during therapeutic paracentesis in decompensated cirrhotic patients with tence ascites was made. Statistically significant increases in 24 hour-urine volume and sodium excretion were found at the end of the treatment compared to the pretreatment levels in each group. [In the Terlipressin plus Albumin group, pre and pos-treatment urine volume 1103±220 mL/24 h, 1269±474 mL/24 h, respectively (p=0.03), pre and post-treatment urinary sodium excretion 26.0±9.1 mEq/24 h, 40.7±31.0 mEq/24 h, respectively (p=0.03). In the Albumin group, pre and pos-treatment urine volume 1229±351 mL/24 h, 1561±459 mL/24 h, respectively (p=0.003), pre and pos-treatment urinary sodium excretion 48.7±37.3 meq/24 h, 102.3±86.1 meq/24 h, respectively (p=0.008)]. A statistically significant decrease in serum creatinin level was observed in the combination group, but not in the Albumin group. As a result, the administration of Terlipressin plus Albumin during paracentesis was found to be able to effective in selected patients. However, it was concluded that this application can not routinely be suggested because of the fact that Terlipressin has systemic adverse effects and an expensive treatment modality, that limit its clinical use.
