Congenital Hepatic Fibrosis: An Uncommon Cause of Chronic Renal Failure
Congenital Hepatic Fibrosis (CHF) is a rare disease that affects both the liver and kidneys. Congenital hepatic fibrosis (CHF) is an autosomal recessive inherited malformation defined pathologically by a variable degree of periportal fibrosis and irregularly shaped proliferating bile ducts. Affected individuals also have impaired renal function, usually caused, in children and teenagers, by an...
متن کاملHepatic Disorders in Renal Homograft Recipients*t
Renal homotransplantation was performed in 185 patients between March 1962 and April 1968. None of the recipients, who were aged 3 to 55 years, had known liver disease prior to transplantation, although in 39 of the earlier cases adequate biochemical tests were not obtained preoperatively to establish this fact. In the other 146, hepatic function was studied before operation and at frequent int...
متن کاملDisorders of renal function in hepatic coma.
Renal failure is a frequent complication in advanced liver disease (Conn, 1973; Papper, 1978). Gastrointestinal bleeding and forced diuresis may be the causes in fulminant hepalic. failure and cirrhosis (Hecker and Sherlock, 1956; Shear et al., 1965). Hepatic coma or an associated metabolic abnormality may affect renal function or aggravate pre-existing renal abnormalities in severe liver disea...
متن کاملRenal failure in children with hepatic failure undergoing liver transplantation.
Over a 3 1/2 year period, 133 children with hepatic failure underwent orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) at our center. Renal failure (creatinine clearance less than 20 ml/min/1.73 m2) was present in 19 (14.3%) of these children. In seven of the 19 children, renal failure was present before OLT, and in the other 12 after OLT. The causes of renal failure included hepatorenal syndrome in seve...
متن کاملRenal function in fulminant hepatic failure: haemodynamics and renal prostaglandins.
Eighteen patients with fulminant liver failure were studied, 10 with normal renal function (group A) and eight with renal failure (group B, plasma creatinine greater than 200 mumol/l). Renal function was assessed by standard clearance techniques and patients in group B had a marked reduction compared with group A in both renal plasma flow and glomerular filtration rate. Raised plasma renin acti...
