In a multi-center inpatient cirrhosis study of patients not exposed to terlipressin, 15% patients developed RF. RF risk was highest in those admitted with AKI, had GI bleeding on admission and those who developed nosocomial infections, and other organ failures, or received albumin during their hospital course. Careful volume monitoring and preventing nosocomial respiratory infections, renal or circulatory failures could reduce this risk.
