Research advances in renal replacement therapy for hepatorenal syndrome

Year: 2016

Type: article

Abstract: Hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) is a serious complication of the end-stage liver disease. The overall treatment outcome of HRS is not satisfactory, with a short survival time and a poor prognosis. Currently, renal replacement therapy is one of the main non-transplantation therapeutic methods, but its clinical effect remains controversial. This review summarizes the research on HRS and advances in the clinical effect of renal replacement therapy for HRS, and points out that renal replacement therapy is not suitable as the conventional therapy for HRS, but it can be applied as the pre-transplantation transitional treatment for patients with a plan for liver transplantation, as well as the short-term treatment for non-transplantation patients who do not respond to vasoconstrictors.
