Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: terlipressin Drug: Terlipressin and albumin

Terlipressin dose: 2mg/24h, it will be modified depending on: Arterial pressure increase < 10 mmHg and the creatinine values decrease <25%, it will be increased every 8 hours until reaching an increase of at least 10mmHg arterial pressure or a creatinine decrease of the 25%.

Albumin: Initial dose (first day) of 1g/Kg (up to a maximum of 100g) and the following days from 20 to 40 g/day.


Outcome Measures

  1. Changes in arterial pressure and creatinine [ Time Frame: 4 months ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Changes in plasmatic renin activity and aldosterone and noradrenaline concentration. [ Time Frame: 4 months ]
  2. Treatment-related adverse events [ Time Frame: 4 months ]
