Hepatorenal syndrome is "functional kidney failure in patients with liver disease, usually liver cirrhosis or portal hypertension (hypertension, portal), and in the absence of intrinsic renal disease or kidney abnormality. It is characterized by intense renal vasculature constriction, reduced renal blood flow, oliguria, and sodium retention."[1]
Classification
- Type I hepatorenal syndrome is more serious and defined as at least a 50 percent lowering of the creatinine clearance to less than 20 mL/min over two weeks or at least a doubling in serum creatinine to greater than 2.5 mg/dL (221 µmol/L).
- Type II hepatorenal syndrome is defined as less severe renal insufficiency than that observed with type I.
Differential diagnosis
Among patients with cirrhosis, more common causes of azotemia than hepatorenal syndrome are:[2]
- pre-renal failure (27.4%)
- renal failure induced by infection (14.1%)
- hepatorenal syndrome (7.6%)
Treatment
Octreotide combined with midodrine can help according to a non-randomized study.[3]
Terlipressin, a vasopressin analogue, causes splanchnic vasoconstrition, has helped renal function in two randomized controlled trials.[4][5]
