Acute-on-chronic liver failureAscitesBeta-blockersHepatorenal syndromeBACKGROUND: Renal failure in cirrhosis may be due to various causes. While treatment for patients with ascites and hepatorenal syndrome is established, recent attention has been focused on acute kidney injury (AKI) in cirrhosis. KEY...

Acute renal failure (ARF), recently renamed acute kidney injury (AKI), is a relatively frequent problem, occurring in approximately 20% of hospitalized patients with cirrhosis. Although serum creatinine may underestimate the degree of renal dysfunction in cirrhosis, measures to diagnose and treat AKI...
Without attenuating intervention, renal fibrosis gradually leads to the loss of kidney function, eventually evolving into uremia or even renal failure. The molecular mechanism of renal fibrosis remains largely unexplored. At present, research has mainly focuses on the inflammatory response, release of ...

Reduced kidney function is associated with an increased risk of cancer; however, it is unclear if cancer increases the risk of kidney failure with replacement therapy (KFRT). We assessed the risk of KFRT among patients with various types of cancer collectively and with specific types of cancer...

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most severe complications of cirrhosis, occurring in up to 50% of hospitalized patients, and has been associated with higher mortality, which increases with severity of AKI (Capalbo et al., Int Urol Nephrol 51:2203–2207, 2019). Hepatorenal syndrome ...
Acute renal failure (ARF) is “a clinical syndrome characterized by the sudden onset of hemodynamic, filtration and excretory failure of the kidneys with subsequent accumulation of metabolic (uremic) toxins and dysregulation of fluid, electrolyte and acid-balance” (Cowgill and Elliott, 2000). ...
Renal failure typically occurs in conjunction with multiorgan involvement during an acute illness or as a part of advanced liver disease. AKI in patients with liver cirrhosis is often precipitated by factors such as infections, hypovolemia from GI bleeding, use of nephrotoxic drugs, or development ...
