Abstract:Objective To analyze the efficacy and recurrence rate of Terlipressin in the treatment of ascites-related acute renal injury (AKI) stage Ⅰ patients with cirrhosis. Methods Clinical data of 123 patients with AKI stage Ⅰ cirrhosis ascites treated in Changhai Hospital from January 2014 to February 2018 were collected and randomly divided into control group (n = 56) and observation group (n = 67) according to random number table method. Control group was given conventional treatment, and observation group was given Terlipressin on this basis. All patients were followed up for six months. Clinical efficacy of two groups was evaluated. The levels of total bilirubin (TBil), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), albumin, serum creatinine (Scr), serum sodium, international normalized ratio (INR), end-stage liver disease (MELD) score, MELD-Na score and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were compared between two groups before treatment and after follow-up. The recurrence rate was compared between two groups. Results There were no significant differences in TBil, ALT, albumin, Scr, serum sodium, blood urea nitrogon (BUN), INR, MELD-Na score between two groups before treatment (P > 0.05). But eGFR of observation group was lower than that of control group before treatment (P < 0.05). TBil, ALT, Scr and INR of two groups after follow-up were lower than those before treatment, while albumin, MELD score, MELD-Na score and EGFR were higher than those before treatment (P < 0.05). TBil, Scr and BUN of observation group were lower than those of control group after follow-up, while albumin, MELD-Na score and eGFR of observation group were higher than those of control group (P < 0.05). The length of stay in observation group was significantly shorter than that in control group, and treatment response rate was significantly higher than that in control group (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in recurrence rate and total recurrence rate between two groups after one, three and six months of follow-up (P > 0.05). Conclusion Terlipressin in the treatment of cirrhotic ascites AKI stage Ⅰ patients can effectively reduce Scr, BUN, albumin and eGFR, improve renal function, shorten the length of hospital stay, but has no significant effect on reducing the recurrence rate of AKI.
