Comparison of Angiotensin II to Standard Dose Vasopressors on Change in Arterial Elastance
Running, not enrolling · Early Phase 1
Conditions studied: Septic Shock, Cirrhosis, Vasodilatory Shock, Acute Kidney Injury
In brief
A study to see whether a medication called Angiotensin II works better than the routinely used medication to raise blood pressure in people with liver disease who are experiencing a serious drop in blood pressure. The investigators want to find out if Angiotensin II can help the heart and blood vessels work together more effectively than standard treatments.

You may qualify if…
- Age ≥ 18 years at the time of enrollment
- Septic shock as defined by Sepsis-3 criteria (highly suspected or confirmed infection, requiring norepinephrine to maintain a MAP ≥ 65 mmHg, and serum lactate > 2 mmol/L after adequate fluid resuscitation) within a 48 hour window prior to enrollment
- Confirmed cirrhotic patient (Radiological/Biopsy/Physician confirmed)
- Preserved cardiac function as assessed using point-of-care ultrasonography or a non-invasive hemodynamic monitoring device with either LVOT VTI > 18 cm or stroke volume > 50 ml Within 48 hours of onset of shock.
- Standard of care vasopressors are at a norepinephrine equivalent of 15 mcg/min
You may not qualify if…
- Declined consent.
- Pregnancy
- CKD-Stage IV/V
- ESRD on long-term hemodialysis
- On Dialysis or planned dialysis to be initiated within 24 hours of study of enrollment.
- Clinically determined to have primarily hepatorenal syndrome.
- On other vasoactive medication (phenylephrine, Terlipressin, epinephrine, dobutamine, dopamine)
