Type-1 hepatorenal syndrome associated with infections in cirrhosis: Natural history, outcome of kidney function, and survival

Abstract

Type-1 HRS associated with infections is not reversible in two-thirds of patients with treatment of infection only. No reversibility of type-1 HRS is associated with lack of resolution of the infection, age, high bilirubin, and no early improvement of kidney function and implies a poor prognosis. These results may help advance the management of patients with type-1 HRS associated with infections.
