[Treatment of hepatorenal syndrome with dopamine and bromocriptine].

Two cirrhotic patients with hepatorenal syndrome were treated with Dopamine hydrochloride and Bromocriptine, a Dopamine agonist. Dopamine hydrochloride was given at a dosis of 0.30 to 0.90 mg/min. and Bromocriptine 15 mg/day. Although a transient raise of urinary output was observed in one patient, both patients died six to ten days later with an urinary output of less than 100 ml/day. Dopamine and Bromocriptine combined are of poor therapeutic value in hepatorenal syndrome.
