Hepatorenal Syndrome — Classification and Treatment
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Aside from the many metabolic and synthetic functions of the liver, it also plays a crucial part in the maintenance of other organ systems. This is why any alterations in its functions, such as in liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension can result in detrimental effects on the major organs and tissues remote from the liver such as the lungs, heart, and kidneys. Although liver diseases can affect different extrahepatic organ systems, there is somewhat a similar pattern when it comes to the development of the pathophysiology. One of the many extrahepatic syndromes that can manifest in patients having liver problems such as cirrhosis and portal hypertension is the hepatorenal syndrome.
