Continuous home terlipressin infusion increases handgrip strength and reduces ascites-A prospective randomized crossover study.

This novel study demonstrates a significant increase in handgrip strength, reduction in paracentesis volume, and improved quality of life in patients with decompensated cirrhosis treated with continuous terlipressin infusion. These findings provide a strong rationale for the use of ambulatory CTI in appropriately selected patients with cirrhosis.
