Abstract Aim Hepatorenal syndrome‐induced acute kidney injury (AKI) comprises AKI and liver cirrhosis (LC) and is a risk factor for poor prognoses of patients with LC. Decreased a disintegrin‐like metalloproteinase with thrombospondin type 1 motif 13 (ADAMTS13) activity and increased von Willebrand factor (vWF) antigen levels are associated with LC ...
