Brief Summary

Terlipressin and somatostatin/octreotide are the first-line choices for the treatment of acute variceal bleeding in liver cirrhosis. Acute kidney injury can develop in patients presenting with acute variceal bleeding. On the other hand, evidence suggests that terlipressin can reverse hepatorenal syndrome. It has been hypothesized that terlipressin can protect the renal function in cirrhotic patients with acute variceal bleeding, except for control of bleeding.
