Title: Early diagnosis and prognostic evaluation of hepatorenal syndrome in cirrhosis
Abstract: Refractory ascites,spontaneous bacterial peritonitis and hepatorenal syndrome are severe complications of advanced cirrhosis.The probabilities of HRS occurrence among cirrhotic patients with ascites at 1 and 5 years have been reported to be 18%,40% respectively,and 60%~80% with liver failure.HRS is associated with a poor prognosis and a high mortality rate within 3 months up to 80%~100%.The only effective treatment is liver transplantation.The median survival in patients developing to HRS type I is 2 weeks without therapeutic intervention.Therefore,early recognization of HRS has great significance in treatment management and prognosis.
