NCT04460560
Hepatorenal syndrome-acute kidney injury (HRS-AKI), a potentially reversible renal failure, is a serious, rapidly progressing, often fatal, complication of decompensated cirrhosis. Terlipressin is a synthetic vasopressin analogue that acts as a systemic vasoconstrictor via the vascular vasopressin V1 receptors. In HRS-AKI patients the strong V1 receptor-mediated vasoconstrictor activity of terlipressin, particularly in the splanchnic area, increases effective intravascular volume and mean arterial pressure (MAP), ameliorates renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and sympathetic nervous system hyperactivity, and improves renal blood flow. The INFUSE trial will evaluate the use of continuous terlipressin infusion in patients on the liver transplant waiting list with HRS-AKI.

Although some Veterans seek help when they experience post-military readjustment challenges, many do not. One factor that stands in the way of Veterans' willingness to seek help for these challenges is their lack of knowledge, both with regard to how severe challenges must be to warrant help-seeking and what resources are available to address these challenges. Measurement-Based Transition Assistance (MBTA) aims to address these barriers to help-seeking by providing Veterans with individualized feedback on areas in which they would benefit from additional support with regard to their health, vocational, financial, and social circumstances, along with personalized recommendations for relevant programs, services, and supports. If effective, this scalable, population-based intervention strategy could be used independently or in conjunction with other approaches to enhancing Veterans' help-seeking to interrupt high-risk trajectories before they lead to chronic maladjustment and increased risk for suicide.
