Renal dysfunction in cirrhosis: clinical manifestations and treatment
- Renal dysfunction
- Hepatorenal syndrome
Introduction. Renal dysfunction is a frequent complication in cirrhotic patients and it is an indicator of
poor prognosis if it is not identified and treated early. Patients with cirrhosis have multiple risk factors to
develop an acute kidney injury.
Pathogeny. The most common causes of acute kidney injury in cirrhosis are pre-renalazotemia, acute
tubular necrosis and type 1 hepatorenal syndrome.
Treatment. Each type of renal disease has a specific treatment approach ranging from expansion of
intravascular volume to renal replacement therapy. The treatment of type 1 hepatorenal syndrome is a
combination of vasoconstrictor with albumin, which is effective in about 50% patients. Type 2
hepatorenal syndrome is a more stable renal dysfunction, slowly progressive, and is related with
refractory ascites.
