Overview
Classification
The hepatorenal syndrome is defined as renal failure that occurs in the setting of liver disease as follows:
Type I HRS
Type I HRS is characterized by rapidly progressive renal failure with a doubling of serum creatinine to a level greater than 221 μmol/L (2.5 mg/dL) or a halving of the creatinine clearance to less than 20 mL/min over a period of less than 2 weeks.
Type II HRS
Type II HRS is characterized by a slowly progressive:
- Increase in serum creatinine level to greater than 133 μmol/L (1.5 mg/dL) or a creatinine clearance of less than 40 mL/min
- Urine sodium < 10 meq/dl[1]
