Understanding and Treating Hepatorenal Syndrome: Insights from Recent Research.
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a critical and often fatal complication in decompensated cirrhosis, significantly affecting inpatient survival rates. Hepatorenal syndrome (HRS), a distinct subtype of AKI, develops in individuals with advanced cirrhosis and portal hypertension. It is marked by progressive kidney dysfunction, poor prognosis, and frequently causes death before liver transplantation. The pathogenesis of HRS involves vasodilation of the splanchnic vessels, leading to overactivation of the endogenous vasoactive systems, circulatory dysfunction, and reduced renal perfusion, which ultimately impairs glomerular filtration. Recent studies have highlighted the role of systemic inflammation in exacerbating renal damage. Despite these changes, renal histology in HRS usually shows no significant abnormalities, and there is typically no hematuria, proteinuria, or abnormal findings on ultrasound. Common risk factors for HRS include spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, infections, and large-volume paracentesis without albumin infusion. Diagnosing HRS is challenging, particularly in distinguishing it from acute tubular necrosis, due to the absence of specific biomarkers. Treatment primarily involves vasoconstrictors such as terlipressin and albumin, with liver transplantation being the definitive therapeutic option. This review provides an updated understanding of HRS, addressing its pathophysiology, diagnosis, management, and future challenges, based on recent expert consensus.
期刊介绍:
Seminars in Liver Disease is a quarterly review journal that publishes issues related to the specialties of hepatology and gastroenterology.
As the premiere review journal in the field, Seminars in Liver Disease provides in-depth coverage with articles and issues focusing on topics such as cirrhosis, transplantation, vascular and coagulation disorders, cytokines, hepatitis B & C, Nonalcoholic Steatosis Syndromes (NASH), pediatric liver diseases, hepatic stem cells, porphyrias as well as a myriad of other diseases related to the liver. Attention is also given to the latest developments in drug therapy along with treatment and current management techniques. Seminars in Liver Disease publishes commissioned reviews. Unsolicited reviews of an exceptional nature or original articles presenting remarkable results will be considered, but case reports will not be published.
