The development of acute‐on‐chronic liver failure (ACLF) in patients with liver cirrhosis is
associated with high mortality rates. Renal failure is the most significant organ dysfunction …

AIM: To investigate serum cystatin C level as an early biomarker for predicting acute kidney
injury (AKI) in patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF). METHODS: Fifty-six …

Background. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common and severe complication in patients with
cirrhosis. Progression of AKI to a higher stage associates with increased mortality …

Background. Serum cystatin C (CysC) was proposed as an effective reflection of the
glomerular filtration rate (GFR). However, its role in patients with liver cirrhosis has not been …

Background/Aims: The present study aimed to determine the role of cystatin C as a
prognostic factor for acute kidney injury and survival in cirrhotic patients. Methods: The study …

Background Recent studies suggest that serum cystatin C (CysC) is a more sensitive marker
of renal functions than serum creatinine (Cr). Aim Evaluation of the clinical significance of …

Abstract Background & Aims Acute kidney injury is a frequent and ominous complication in
cirrhosis. An episode of AKI damages the functional nephron mass, compromising the renal …

Abstract Background/Aims: Serum creatinine (Cr) is not a reliable marker for early detection
of renal dysfunction in patients with cirrhotic ascites. Several reports have suggested that …

Background and aims: Diagnosis of moderately impaired renal function is of particular
importance in patients with cirrhosis of the liver. Whereas patients with a markedly impaired …

Abstract Background Lower serum Cr levels in women as compared to men result in
underestimation of renal dysfunction and lower model for end-stage liver disease-sodium …
