متن کاملRenal failure in patients with cirrhosis.
Renal failure in cirrhosis poses unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Laboratory values and predictive equations grossly overestimate renal function in patients with cirrhosis. Development of renal failure connotes a worse prognosis; mortality is especially high with hepatorenal syndrome. Classification of the causes of renal failure in patients with cirrhosis is provided with more ext...
متن کاملSpectrum of renal tubular damage in renal failure secondary to cirrhosis and fulminant hepatic failure.
Measurements of urinary lysozyme were used to evaluate renal tubular integrity in 34 patients with cirrhosis or fulminant hepatic failure who had developed renal impairment. In 18 of the patients the lysozyme values were normal but in the remaining 16 were increased, supporting previous concepts that renal failure complicating hepatocellular disease may occur both without and with tubular necro...
متن کاملRenal retention of sodium in cirrhosis and fulminant hepatic failure.
Abnormal renal retention of sodium is a characteristic finding in both cirrhosis and fulminant hepatic failure. In cirrhosis the pathogenesis varies according to the level of renal perfusion. When this is normal, hyperaldosteronism is probably the most important factor and this results from an increased release of renin by the kidney. The stimulus to the latter may be a shunting of blood from t...
متن کاملClinical approach to rapidly progressive renal failure.
Rapidly progressive renal failure (RPRF) is an initial clinical diagnosis in patients who present with progressive renal impairment of short duration. The underlying etiology may be a primary renal disease or a systemic disorder. Important differential diagnoses include vasculitis (systemic or renal-limited), systemic lupus erythematosus, multiple myeloma, thrombotic microangiopathy and acute i...
