Hepatorenal syndrome - what does this mean
Hepatorenal syndrome is a type of kidney failure that occurs in people with cirrhosis or severe liver disease. it is caused by decreased blood flow to the kidneys, leading to an inability of the kidneys to filter waste and regulate electrolyte balance. this can lead to electrolyte imbalances, fluid retention, and kidney failure.
What happens during the disease - hepatorenal syndrome
Hepatorenal syndrome is a type of kidney failure that occurs in people with severe liver disease. it is caused by a decrease in effective circulating blood volume due to portal hypertension, which leads to a decrease in renal perfusion and a decrease in glomerular filtration rate. this decrease in renal perfusion leads to a decrease in the production of the hormones renin and aldosterone, which further reduces renal perfusion, resulting in an increase in the reabsorption of sodium and water and a decrease in the production of urine. this decrease in urine output leads to an accumulation of toxins in the blood, which can further damage the kidneys and cause further kidney failure.
