A Retrospective Analysis of Outcomes in Patients with Hepatorenal Syndrome At Methodist Dallas Medical Center
Sponsor: Methodist Health System
Summary
Hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) is a common cause of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with liver disease \[1\]. Increased activity and presence of vasodilators such as nitric oxide in cirrhotic patients leads to vasodilation, especially in the splanchnic circulation, resulting in hemodynamic changes that precipitate renal injury \[1\]. Patients may present with elevated serum creatinine (Cr), benign urine sediment, and low urine sodium \[1\].
