Abstract:
Hepatorenal syndrome. Hepatorenal syndrome is a functional renal failure in state of portal hypertension caused by splanchnic vasodilatation that brings decrease of renal perfusion. The inductive factors include acute alcoholic hepatitis, non-adequate diuretic therapy, infections and bleeding from upper parts of gastrointestinal tract. Recognition of pathophysiological mechanisms of hepatorenal syndrome helped the elaboration of therapeutic schemes. The treatment is successful in improvement of renal functions in many patients but it is very expensive.

Renal Failure: Dose Adjustments
Reduced renal clearance and elimination rate are common outcomes of renal impairment. These alterations lead to a prolonged elimination half-life and an altered apparent volume of distribution for drugs. As a result, dosage adjustments are typically necessary to maintain optimal drug levels in the body.
However, dosage adjustments...
