The hepatorenal syndrome is classified into two categories according to the severity of disease in terms of progression and clinical outcome. Type I hepatorenal syndrome has a rapid progression, whereas type II hepatorenal syndrome progresses gradually to overt renal failure. Both types of the syndrome occur in patients with [[fulminant hepatitis]] or [[liver failure]] with [[cirrhosis]] and present with increased [[creatinine]] levels along with reduced urine output.

Overview

The hepatorenal syndrome is classified into two categories according to the severity of disease in terms of progression and clinical outcome. Type I hepatorenal syndrome has a rapid progression, whereas type II hepatorenal syndrome progresses gradually to overt renal failure. Both types of the syndrome occur in patients with fulminant hepatic failure or liver failure with cirrhosis and present with increased creatinine levels along with reduced urine output.
