Kidney injury and liver failure classifications in cirrhosis prognosis assessmentPere Ginès
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...
this paper suggests that there is a common pathogenic pathway in the pathogenesis of liver and kidney diseases and that the association between organ fibroses should be valued in the research on cirrhosis- related renal fibrosis."Treatment of kidney in liver disease"and"treatment of both liver ...
There could be some hesitation about using standard immunosuppression for HCV-positive patients because this could worsen the extent of liver disease and infection, but the evidence so far has shown that there is likely a benefit to using induction therapy to decrease the probability of death in ...
Impaired kidney perfusion and function in patients with advanced liver failure as a consequence of marked abnormalities in arterial and venous circulation, as well as overactivity of endogenous vasoactive systems. Kidney failure Complete (and life-threatening) loss of kidney function; kidney failure repl...
to propose an update in the definition ofkidney dysfunctionin cirrhosis (Box 1). The term “hepatorenal disorder” was created to characterize any renal dysfunction in the setting of advanced liver disease. The expectation with the new definition is to improve diagnosis, earlier identification, and...
also be influenced by other variables, underscoring the need for further research [49]. The hepatic phenotype in BBS widely varies from MASLD, including steatosis and Metabolic Dysfunction-associated Steatohepatitis (MASH), to liver cirrhosis and an increased risk of hepatocellular carcinoma [50,51,...
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 ...

The reason for this increased risk is unknown, but it may be related to the marked impairment in kidney function that occurs in severe chronic liver disease, acute liver failure, and advanced cirrhosis–induced hepatorenal syndrome. Furthermore, AKI may also occur after transarterial chemoembolization...
