  • Title: Renal failure in patients with cirrhosis.
    Author: Mackelaite L, Alsauskas ZC, Ranganna K.
    Journal: Med Clin North Am; 2009 Jul; 93(4):855-69, viii. PubMed ID: 19577118.
    Abstract:
    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 extensive discussion of selected causes. Finally, a suggested diagnostic approach to renal failure in cirrhosis is given.
