Overview
Hepatorenal syndrome [HRS] develops on the background of advanced liver disease. HRS may occur spontaneously mostly in type 2 HRS and may be precipitated in >70% of cases of type 1 HRS.
Risk Factors
HRS may occur spontaneously mostly in type 2 HRS and may be precipitated in >70% of cases of type 1 HRS.[1]
Risk factors include:
- Blood pressure that falls when a person rises or suddenly changes position (orthostatic hypotension)
- Use of medicines called diuretics ("water pill")
- Gastrointestinal bleeding
- Infection
- Recent abdominal fluid tap (paracentesis)
- Fulminant hepatic failure
- Severe acute alcohol-related hepatitis
