Impaired renal function due to acute kidney injury (AKI) and/or chronic kidney diseases
(CKD) is frequent in cirrhosis. Recurrent episodes of AKI may occur in end-stage cirrhosis …

Patients with cirrhosis have a high prevalence of renal dysfunction. The susceptibility to
renal dysfunction is due to both the severe splanchnic arterial vasodilation and the systemic …

Aim Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent complication in cirrhotic patients. As serum
creatinine is a poor marker of renal function in this population, we aimed to study the utility of …

Renal dysfunction is a common complication of liver cirrhosis and of utmost clinical and
prognostic relevance. Patients with cirrhosis are more prone to developing acute kidney …

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common in patients with cirrhosis and associated with significant
mortality. The most common etiologies of AKI in this setting are prerenal azotemia (PRA) …

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common in advanced cirrhosis. Prerenal azotemia, hepatorenal
syndrome, and acute tubular necrosis are the main causes of AKI in patients with cirrhosis …

Patients with advanced liver disease frequently have impaired renal function. Both acute
kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are quite common in patients with …

The traditional diagnostic criteria of renal dysfunction in cirrhosis are a 50% increase in
serum creatinine (SCr) with a final value above 1.5 mg/dL. This means that patients with …

Acute on chronic liver failure (ACLF) is a distinct clinical entity; however, there is still debate
in the way it is defined in the East as compared to the West, especially with respect to …

Evidence suggests that novel biomarkers predict acute kidney injury (AKI) development and
outcome earlier than serum creatinine. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence …
