Abstract
Section snippets
The new evidence in the management of HRS-AKI in patients with cirrhosis
The conclusions of the ADQI and ICA Joint Multidisciplinary Consensus Meeting were published in the Journal of Hepatology in July 2024 (2).Subsequently, a prospective observational study was published in the same Journal in September 2024 analyzing the effectiveness of the algorithm proposed by the EASL CPGs in the management of AKI in patients with cirrhosis and a letter as explanatory corollary by the Barcelona research team led by Pere Ginès 3, 4. The main content of these papers can be
Discussion
To rectify any misunderstanding, it is accepted that at the time of developing the position paper of the ADQI and ICA the results of this research group have not yet been published. This being said, the issue of volume expansion in the management of AKI should be discussed. Without any doubt, the need for assessing the patient volume status and thus the real need for volume replacement, and the need to standardize methods to assess volume status and monitor the response to volume replacement is
Conclusions
The application of the EASL AKI algorithm, derived from the previous statements proposed by the ICA, is associated with very good response rates and does not significantly delay initiation of therapy with terlipressin. The use of 48-hour albumin infusion and the use of the old diagnostic criteria to differentiate HRS-AKI and ATN-AKI are both essential components of the algorithm. There is need for studies addressing the important questions on the dose and duration of albumin treatment to
