[Dissecting aortic aneurysm combined with hepatorenal syndrome]

The authors present a case of a dissecting aneurysm of the aorta type A which affected also the insertions of visceral and renal arteries, and in addition to renal ischaemia and impaired renal function caused also ischaemia of the liver parenchyma with a rise of transaminases and bilirubin. This led to temporary hospitalization at the infectious department where the patient was referred to rule out hepatitis. In the discussion the authors draw attention to the pathogenesis, differential diagnosis and contemporary therapeutic methods of the disease.
