The hepatorenal syndrome

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 ...

The Hepatorenal Syndrome

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 ...

Hepatorenal Syndrome

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

Hepatorenal Syndrome

1984
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.

Captopril in the Hepatorenal Syndrome

Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology, 1985
Five 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 ...

Cardiogenic Hepatorenal Syndrome

Angiology, 1990
A 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.

Management of hepatorenal syndrome

Pharmacology & Therapeutics, 2008
Hepatorenal syndrome is a form of acute or sub-acute renal failure which develops in patients with chronic liver disease. In contrast to other forms of acute renal failure it may be reversible using pharmacological agents. The pathogenesis involves splanchnic vasodilatation and intense renal vasoconstriction.

The Hepatorenal Syndrome

Medical Clinics of North America, 2008
The onset of renal failure in a patient with cirrhosis or acute liver failure is alarming because it raises the possibility of the hepatorenal syndrome (HRS). Periodic surveillance of renal function is helpful in patients with severe liver disease to detect HRS early and to help correct reversible contributing factors.

Dopamine in the Hepatorenal Syndrome

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1977
DOPAMINE hydrochloride has been reported to increase both renal plasma flow and, to a small extent, urinary sodium excretion in patients with the hepatorenal syndrome, but to have no notable effect on glomerular filtration rate or urinary output.
