Hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) Disease Understanding

Hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) is a unique form of functional renal failure due to diminished renal blood flow, which occurs typically in histologically normal kidneys. It is a severe complication of advanced liver disease and characteristically affects patients with cirrhosis and ascites.

The term “Hepatorenal syndrome” was first used in 1939 to describe renal failure after biliary surgery or hepatic trauma. Later it was extended to other types of acute renal failure in liver diseases. In 1996, the International Ascites Club proposed a new definition and diagnostic criteria for HRS; since then, this term has been generally accepted for the functional renal failure that develops in patients with advanced cirrhosis.

HRS’s definition evolved with time, and the term became synonymous with severe organ dysfunction that involved both the liver and kidneys simultaneously. The International Club of Ascites has recently recommended a new definition, according to which HRS diagnosis relies on serum creatinine changes instead that on a fixed high value. The main change produced by adopting the new definition of HRS is removing a rigid very high cut-off value of sCr (2.5 mg/dL or 220 μmol/L) to start pharmacologic treatment. In this way, treatment can be administered early, and potentially better efficacy could be achieved.

The International Club of Ascites classified HRS into types 1 and 2 (HRS-1 and HRS-2). HRS-1 is characterized by a rapid deterioration of renal function that often occurs because of a precipitating event, while HRS-2 is a slowly progressive renal dysfunction that often occurs without an obvious precipitant. Clinically, HRS-1 is characterized by acute renal failure (ARF), while refractory ascites mainly characterize HRS-2. Recent changes in terminology have led to acute or Type I HRS being referred to as AKI-HRS and chronic or Type II HRS as chronic kidney disease (CKD)-HRS.
