Terlipressin is used commonly in the management of hepatorenal syndrome and acute variceal bleeding. Like its parent compound vasopressin, it is also notorious for its ischemic complications. Terlipressin-induced ischemic complications can virtually affect any part of the body, but the incidence of serious complications is less than its parent compound vasopressin. Here, we report a case of terlipressin-induced peripheral ischemic gangrene in a diabetic male, which ultimately led to death of the patient.
特利加压素常用于肝肾综合征和急性静脉曲张出血的治疗。与它的母体化合物血管加压素一样,它也因缺血性并发症而声名狼藉。特利加压素引起的缺血性并发症几乎可累及身体的任何部位,但严重并发症的发生率低于其母体化合物血管加压素。在此,我们报告一例糖尿病男性患者因特利加压素导致外周缺血性坏疽,最终患者死亡的病例。
