Hepatorenal syndrome, acute kidney injury in chronic liver disease, involves complex pathophysiology. Continuous hemodiafiltration with biocompatible membranes offers the best dialysis approach for managing this condition.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Hepatology
  • Critical Care Medicine

Background:

  • Hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) is acute kidney injury in patients with advanced chronic liver disease.
  • Its pathogenesis involves circulatory dysfunction and intrarenal vasoconstriction.
  • HRS is a serious complication of cirrhosis with poor prognosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the pathophysiology of hepatorenal syndrome.
  • To discuss management strategies for combined renal and hepatic failure.
  • To evaluate current dialysis modalities for HRS.

Main Methods:

  • Review of the pathophysiology of hepatorenal syndrome.
  • Discussion of management principles for renal and hepatic dysfunction.
  • Evaluation of hemodialysis techniques, focusing on continuous hemodiafiltration.

Main Results:

  • The pathogenesis of HRS is functional, involving fluid redistribution and intrarenal vasoconstrictive mechanisms.
  • Management requires addressing uremia and hepatic dysfunction effects.
  • Continuous hemodiafiltration using biocompatible membranes is the preferred dialysis method.

Conclusions:

  • Prognosis of hepatorenal syndrome is poor and linked to liver function recovery.
  • Liver transplantation is a potential treatment option for HRS.
  • Optimizing dialysis is crucial for managing HRS patients.
