Hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) is a common cause of kidney failure in advanced liver disease patients with cirrhosis. This review covers HRS pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment strategies.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Hepatology
  • Internal Medicine

Background:

  • Advanced liver disease, particularly cirrhosis, frequently leads to renal dysfunction.
  • Hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) is a major cause of kidney failure in these patients, characterized by functional renal failure without intrinsic kidney disease.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) in cirrhosis.
  • To discuss the pathogenesis, clinical presentation, diagnostic criteria, and therapeutic options for HRS.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review focusing on pathogenesis, clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment of HRS.
  • Synthesis of current understanding and clinical guidelines regarding HRS in cirrhosis.

Main Results:

  • HRS is a frequent complication of advanced cirrhosis, stemming from circulatory and renal abnormalities.
  • Early recognition and appropriate management are crucial for improving outcomes in patients with HRS.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding the pathophysiology of HRS is key to developing effective diagnostic and treatment strategies.
  • Current treatments aim to improve systemic hemodynamics and renal perfusion in patients with cirrhosis and HRS.
