Overview
There are predictors for patients suffering from liver disease to view chances of development of Hepatorenal syndrome (HRS).
Screening
There are predictors for patients suffering from liver disease to view chances of development of hepatorenal syndrome (HRS).[1][2]
Following are variables that should taken in consideration to predict HRS:[3][4]
- Hepatomegaly
- Oesophageal varices
- History of ascites
- Nutritional status
- GFR
- Blood urea nitrogen
- Serum sodium and potassium
- Plasma renin activity
- Plasma noradrenaline
- Serum and urinary osmolality
- Urinary sodium excretion
- Free water clearance after a water load
- Mean arterial pressure
