Effect of Laparoscopic Splenectomy on Renal Function in Cirrhotic Patients With Hypersplenism (2-Year Follow-Up)

Sponsor: Northern Jiangsu People's Hospital

Summary

Patients with liver cirrhosis often have impaired or at-risk kidney function due to the close link between liver and kidney (hepatorenal syndrome). Laparoscopic splenectomy is commonly used to treat splenomegaly and hypersplenism in these patients, but its impact on kidney function over 2 years is unclear. This study will follow patients undergoing laparoscopic splenectomy to measure changes in kidney function before and after surgery, identify risk factors for kidney damage and whether laparoscopic splenectomy can improve kidney function in the long term, and help improve care to protect kidney function in cirrhotic patients .

Official title: A Prospective, Single-Center, Observational Cohort Study to Evaluate the Short-Term and Long-Term (2-Year) Effects of Laparoscopic Splenectomy on Renal Function in Patients With Liver Cirrhosis, Splenomegaly and Hypersplenism
