Renal failure may be rapidly progressive (type I hepatorenal syndrome, frequently associated with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis) or may develop more slowly (type II). Orthotopic liver transplantation is the best current treatment and leads to a gradual recovery of renal function in the vast ...
Hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) is defined as functional renal failure that develops in patients with advanced liver disease. HRS may be either slowly or rapidly progressive (type I and II HRS, respectively). Untreated HRS carries a high mortality. Liver transplantation is the best available treatment ...
Hepatorenal syndrome(HRS) is the development of functional renal failure in a patient with ESLD that occurs as a result of cirrhosis-induced circulatory dysfunction, RAAS activation, and renalvasoconstriction. The terms type 1- type 2-HRS are no longer used in favor of definingAKIincirrhosisbased...

During the course of liver failure, according to the dominant clinical presentation (HRS, hepatopulmonary syndrome, hyperbilirubinemia), the most appropriate type of support system, each with different prominent features, will be chosen. Whereas in HRS venovenous hemodiafiltration is the first choise of...
This article summarizes the literature on current definition, suggested pathogenetic mechanisms and the role of laboratory assessment in the differential diagnosis of hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) from other causes of renal disease that may arise during hepatic cirrhosis and some diseases affecting both liver...
Hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) is the most serious hepatorenal disorder and one of the most difficult to treat. To date, the best treatment options are those that reverse the mechanisms underlying HRS: portal hypertension, splanchnic vasodilation, and/or renal vasoconstriction. Therefore, liver ...
