To report three cases of extensive skin necrosis in cirrhotic patients treated with the vasoconstrictor agent terlipressin (Glypressin).
We identified three patients who developed skin necrosis and determined any factors, which put them at an increased risk of doing so.
Two patients were obese and developed extensive abdominal wall skin necrosis. The third patient had lower limb chronic venous insufficiency and developed extensive necrosis of both lower limbs.
With increasing clinical use of terlipressin and an increasing incidence of obesity and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease-related cirrhosis, the incidence of these serious complications is likely to rise. Earlier recognition and treatment may lead to improved outcome.
报告三例使用血管收缩剂特利加压素(可利新)治疗的肝硬化患者发生广泛皮肤坏死的病例。
我们确定了三名发生皮肤坏死的患者,并确定了使其发生风险增加的任何因素。
两名患者肥胖,发生了广泛的腹壁皮肤坏死。第三名患者患有下肢慢性静脉功能不全,双下肢发生了广泛坏死。
随着特利加压素临床应用的增加以及肥胖和非酒精性脂肪性肝病相关肝硬化发病率的上升,这些严重并发症的发生率可能会上升。早期识别和治疗可能会改善预后。
