Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The investigators aim to address whether terlipressin improves the renal outcome after liver surgery. Therefore the investigators are planning to conduct a double-blinded randomized control trial. The investigators will randomize patients undergoing any kind of liver surgery and being at increased moderate to high risk for post-operative acute renal failure into a control group receiving post- operative a placebo or into a group receiving post-operatively terlipressin in combination with human albumin.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Placebo Comparator: Control Group

Patients receiving post-operative placebo (Ringer lactate solution) treatment to preserve the renal function

Drug: Placebo
Patients are receiving a post-operative intravenous Ringer's lactate solution
Other Names:
  • Ringer's lactate solution
  • Experimental: Terlipressin Group

    Patients receiving a post-operative intravenous terlipressin treatment in association with human albumin to preserve the renal function

    Drug: Terlipressin
    Patients are receiving a post-operative intravenous terlipressin treatment in association with human albumin to preserve the renal function
    Other Names:
  • Gylpressin
  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. serum creatinine peak level within 48 hours post-operative [within 48 hours post-operative]

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. the urinary output/24h [Post Operative Day 0 to 3]

    2. Need for hemofiltration and/or hemodialysis [Post Operative Day 0 - 14]

      participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 14 days

    3. Morbidity & mortality [Post Operative Day 0 - 14]

      measured by the comprehensive complication index; participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 14 days

    4. Liver function [Post Operative Day 0 - 5]

      assessed by serum levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT)

    5. length of hospital stay [Post Operative Day 0 - 14]

      in days; participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 14 days

    6. length of ICU stay [Post Operative Day 0 - 7]

      in days; participants will be followed for the duration of ICU stay, an expected average of 7 days
