CONCLUSIONS: The role of kidney function in patients with liver cirrhosis is receiving increasing attention. In particular, the use of beta-blockers and novel definitions of AKI seem to be of clinical relevance. 2016 S. Karger AG, Basel....
This research addresses the problem of applying ISO 26262 to a system which has already been developed using conventional safety methods. We suggest a methodology for the process of systematically applying the ISO 26262 standard to an existing system.doi:10.1109/SYSCON.2015.7116764Geller LiIEEE...
Avoid nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs, e.g.,ibuprofen). Patients with cirrhosis can experience worsening of liver and kidney function with NSAIDs. Acetaminophen(Tylenol, Panadol) can be toxic to the liver and should be avoided if possible. Treat hepatitis B and hepatitis C virus by...
Hepatorenal syndrome - Kidney function usually recovers when patients with cirrhosis and hepatorenal syndrome undergo liver transplantation; patients with early hepatorenal syndrome may be salvaged by aggressive expansion of intravascular volume with albumin and fresh frozen plasma and by avoidance of diuretics...
The kidney plays a key role in some of the major complications of cirrhosis, specifically the development of ascites, edema and/or pleural effusions and renal failure. Moreover, patients with ascites may develop spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, which is another severe complication of cirrhosis. The...
Kidney problems – liver disease places a great deal of stress on the kidneys causing fluid retention and in advanced liver disease, possibly a progressive deterioration of kidney function Osteoporosis (bone loss) – decreased bone mass and decreased bone density causing bone fractures ...

During treatment with diuretics, it is important to monitor kidney function by measuring serum levels of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine to determine if the doses of the diuretics are safe. Sometimes, when the diuretics do not work, a long needle is used to draw out the fluid ...
Conversely, a low-protein diet reduced renal plasma flow and glomerular filtration rate. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of intravenous amino acid infusion and dietary proteins on kidney function in cirrhosis. Protocol 1: renal plasma flow and glomerular filtration rate was ...
The findings of reduced para-aminohippurate (PAH) extractions in patients with low glomerular filtration rate suggested that this shunting may have occurred within the kidney. 展开 关键词: Kidney Function Tests Water-Electrolyte Balance Liver Cirrhosis Acute Kidney Injury Diet, Sodium-Restricted ...
