Abstract

These days, kidney failure is a big problem globally and can even lead to death for patients. There are many things that can cause kidneys to stop working properly, and liver diseases are especially important. This condition is called hepatorenal syndrome and happens when the kidneys stop working properly after liver cirrhosis. Recent information shows that there are two types of hepatorenal syndrome, which are named type 1 and type 2. Type-1 hepatorenal syndrome usually changes quickly and can be very serious, potentially leading to death if not treated within 2 weeks. Type-2 hepatorenal syndrome changes more slowly over time and has a better outlook, but can still lead to death within 4-6 months if not treated. Cases of type 2 hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) are not often talked about in medical papers, and studies about this serious problem of liver cirrhosis involve a small number of people.
