The exact physiologic mechanism of the hepatorenal syndrome remains unclear; however, it always develops in the presence of liver failure. A number of theories have been postulated to explain the syndrome, which are discussed in this review. None of the proposed theories is able to explain the syndrome completely, and continued research is necessary ...

1. The hepatorenal syndrome is the development of renal failure in patients with severe liver disease in the absence of any identifiable renal pathology. 2. Decreased glomerular filtration is caused by a reduction in both renal blood flow and the renal filtration fraction.

Current Treatment Options in Gastroenterology, 2005
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 for HRS. However, all patients with HRS are not suitable

Hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) is a major complication of patients with cirrhosis, with the annual incidence in patients with ascites being approximately 8% []. This syndrome develops in the latest phase of the disease and there is now evidence that it is an important determinant of patient survival.

Pediatric Nephrology, 1996
Hepatorenal syndrome may occur in any form of severe liver disease. It appears less common in children than adults, but still carries a poor prognosis. There are several factors involved in its aetiology, including a decreased renal perfusion pressure, activation of the renal sympathetic nervous system and increased synthesis of several vasoactive ...

Southern Medical Journal, 2010
Acute kidney injury (AKI) secondary to hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) is an ominous complication of end-stage liver disease (ESLD). In HRS, splanchnic and peripheral vasodilatation with reduction in effective arterial volume causes activation of mechanisms leading to intense renal vasoconstriction and functional AKI. HRS is a diagnosis of exclusion and all

Cardiogenic Hepatorenal Syndrome
Angiology, 1990A variant of hepatorenal syndrome occurring in patients with chronic conges tive heart failure following an episode of cardiogenic pulmonary edema, and in the absence of hypotension, is described. This was observed in 13 patients during an eleven-year period.

Captopril in the Hepatorenal Syndrome
Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology, 1985Five patients with hepatorenal syndrome were treated with the orally active angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor captopril (25 or 50 mg 6 hourly) for up to 48 hours. Only one patient showed a significant increase in urinary sodium concentration (from less than 10 to 70 mmol/liter), but without associated diuresis; renal function continued to ...

Hospital Practice, 1989
A new appreciation of the hemodynamic, hormonal, and neural derangements associated with unexplained renal failure in patients with severe liver disease has led to a reappraisal of the limited therapeutic approaches to the hepatorenal syndrome. Although the prognosis generally remains dismal, specific supportive measures are now available for the ...

Renal failure without apparent cause (the hepatorenal syndrome) may develop in the course of cirrhosis of the liver. While the development of renal failure bears a poor prognosis, spontaneous recovery can occur. The data suggest that for the most part patients die in rather than of renal failure.
