Abstract:
A new appreciation of the hemodynamic, hormonal, and neural derangements associated with unexplained renal failure in patients with severe liver disease has led to a reappraisal of the limited therapeutic approaches to the hepatorenal syndrome. Although the prognosis generally remains dismal, specific supportive measures are now available for the management of selected patients.
