RESOLUTION OF HEPATORENAL SYNDROME IN A 50-YEAR-OLD MALE WITH TERLIPRESSIN THERAPY: A CASE REPORT

BackgroundHepatorenal Syndrome (HRS) is a severe and potentially reversible renal dysfunction seen in patients  with advanced liver disease. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent progression and improve survival. Case Presentation We present the case of a 50-year-old male with decompensated cirrhosis who developed Type 1 HRS. The patient was treated with intravenous albumin and terlipressin. Significant clinical and biochemical improvement was noted within one week of therapy. ConclusionEarly identification and initiation of terlipressin therapy can lead to complete resolution of HRS, potentially reducing the need for dialysis and bridging patients to liver transplantation.
