This book describes Hepatorenal Syndrome, Diagnosis and Treatment and Related Diseases
Hepatorenal syndrome is a disorder in which there is continual failure of the kidneys seen in patients with liver failure often caused by cirrhosis of the liver.
It is a severe complication that can result in death.
When the kidneys stop functioning, the toxins begin to accumulate in the body.
Ultimately, this leads to liver failure.
This syndrome is a interplay of renal dysfunction that causes kidney failure in patients with liver cirrhosis and ascites which also leads to liver failure.
Liver failure leads to kidney failure.
Hepatorenal syndrome is produced by the vasoconstriction of large and small renal arteries and the impaired renal perfusion that occurs
Criteria for diagnosis of hepatorenal syndrome in cirrhosis
1.Cirrhosis with ascites.
2.Serum creatinine >1.5 mg/dL (133 μmol/L).
3.Absence of shock.
4.Absence of hypo-volemia as seen by no sustained improvement of renal function (creatinine reducing to
