BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Terlipressin infusion is effective in hepatorenal syndrome (HRS-AKI). However, its efficacy for HRS-AKI resolution in acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) patients has been suboptimal. Progression of AKI is rapid in ACLF. We investigated whether early initiation of terlipressin(eTerli) can improve response rates. METHODS: Consecutive ACLF patients with stage II/III AKI despite albumin resuscitation (40 g) were randomized to receive terlipressin at 2 mg/24 h plus albumin at 12 h (ET, n = 35) or at 48 h as standard therapy (ST, n = 35)...

Current status of preoperative endoscopic biliary drainage for distal and hilar biliary obstruction.
Hirotoshi Ishiwatari, Junya Sato, Hiroki Sakamoto, Takuya Doi, Hiroyuki Ono
The purpose of preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) is to reduce complications during the perioperative period. The extrahepatic bile duct comprises distal and hilar bile ducts and assessing the need for PBD must be considered separately for each duct, as surgical procedures and morbidities vary. The representative disease-causing distal bile duct obstruction is pancreatic cancer. A randomized controlled trial has revealed that PBD carries the risk of recurrent cholangitis and pancreatitis before surgery, thus eliminating the need for PBD when early surgery is feasible...
