Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Consecutive cirrhotics who present to emergency department of Institute of Liver \& Biliary Sciences with documented or suspected sepsis induced hypotension will be randomized to receive either human albumin infusion over 3 hours or plasmalyte as per requirement. At admission, all patients will undergo physical examination and baseline investigations to identify site of sepsis. The aim of study is to compare the efficacy of using 20% human albumin versus plasmalyte in resuscitation of the patient that is attainment of mean arterial pressure above 65 mm of Hg at three hour after intervention and sustenance of mean arterial pressure above 65 mm of Hg at 6th hour. The randomized patient will be administered 20% albumin (0.5-1.0 gm/kg) for 3 hours, or plasmalyte at the rate of 30ml/kg. After the intervention changes in MAP (Mean Arterial Pressure), lactate level, urine output, incidence of complications, duration of ventilator, ICU (Intensive Care Unit) stay and mortality after one week will be studied.
