Hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) is a serious complication of liver cirrhosis with critically poor prognosis. The pathophysiological hallmark is severe renal vasoconstriction, resulting from complex changes in splanchnic and general circulations as well as systemic and renal vasoconstrictors and vasodilators. Rapid diagnosis and management are important, since recent treatment modalities including vasoconstrictor therapy can improve short-term outcome and buy time for liver transplantation, which can result in complete recovery.
肝肾综合征(HRS)是肝硬化的一种严重并发症,预后极差。其病理生理特征是严重的肾血管收缩,这是由内脏和全身循环以及全身和肾血管收缩剂与血管扩张剂的复杂变化所致。快速诊断和治疗很重要,因为包括血管收缩剂治疗在内的最新治疗方式可改善短期预后,并为肝移植争取时间,而肝移植可使患者完全康复。
