Determine the frequency of hepatorenal syndrome in patients with cirrhosis associated with Hepatitis C

Abstract

Introduction: Hepatorenal syndrome is a complex syndrome. In addition to severe derangement in renal function due to renal vasoconstriction, there is impairment in systemic hemodynamic, activation of renin-angiotensin and sympathetic nervous systems and antidiuretic hormone, vasoconstriction of brain, muscle and skin, and dilutional Hyponatraemia. This study shows frequency of HRS in patients with liver cirrhosis associated with HCV.
