  • Title: Sequential treatment of hepatorenal syndrome and posthepatic cirrhosis by intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPSS) and liver transplantation.
    Author: Lerut J, Goffette P, Laterre PF, Donataccio M, Reynaert MS, Otte JB.
    Journal: Hepatogastroenterology; 1995; 42(6):985-7. PubMed ID: 8847056.
    Abstract:
    The results of liver transplantation are compromised in cirrhotic patients presenting with renal insufficiency from hepatorenal syndrome. A case of cirrhosis and hepatorenal syndrome, treated sequentially with transjugular intrahepatic porto-systemic stent shunting (TIPSS) and liver transplantation, is discussed. TIPSS may be useful for correcting renal dysfunction and/or hepatorenal syndrome in end-stage cirrhotics, thus permitting subsequent elective liver transplantation under good conditions.
