Background & Aims: Terlipressin is indicated to treat hepatorenal syndrome (HRS)-acute kidney injury (AKI), but is likely used outside this primary indication in clinical practice. We aimed to investigate real-world practice patterns on the use of terlipressin in AKI in cirrhosis.
Methods: International prospective study including patients hospitalized for decompensated cirrhosis.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Baicalin, an extract derived from the dried root of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi (Huang Qin), has demonstrated neuroprotective properties. Nonetheless, the safety profile of baicalin has not yet been fully elucidated.
Aim Of The Study: The objective was to characterize the acute and subacute toxicity profiles of baicalin across various organ systems, thereby establishing safe therapeutic windows for its clinical application in the treatment of chronic neurodegenerative disorders.

Introduction: Terlipressin is the only Food and Drug Administration-approved medication for adults with hepatorenal syndrome-acute kidney injury (HRS-AKI) with rapid reduction in kidney function. Treatment with terlipressin, particularly in patients with lower serum creatinine (SCr) at diagnosis, improves outcomes. Despite evidence suggesting that treating HRS-AKI at lower SCr thresholds may improve clinical outcomes, the impact on healthcare resource utilization (HCRU) and medical costs of an earlier intervention strategy remains unquantified.

The use of terlipressin in the treatment of hepatorenal syndrome type 1 (HRS-1) in patients with advanced cirrhosis wait-listed for liver transplant (LT) has been controversial. Successful treatment lowers patients' Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score and hence their LT priority. Terlipressin's potential ischemic side effects and risks for respiratory failure in susceptible patients lend support to directly proceed to LT.
