El síndrome hepatorrenal (SHR) es una complicación grave que presentan los pacientes con cirrosis y ascitis. La insuficiencia renal es de carácter funcional y está causada por vasoconstricción renal. El SHR ocurre en el 10% de los pacientes con cirrosis avanzada. El diagnóstico de SHR se basa en la exclusión de otras etiologías de insuficiencia renal. Hay dos tipos de SHR: el tipo 1, que es de inicio rápido y evolución progresiva, con una supervivencia media de 15 días sin tratamiento, y el tipo 2, que es menos grave y progresivo, con una supervivencia media de 6 meses. El tratamiento definitivo del SHR es el trasplante hepático. Sin embargo, en los últimos años se ha demostrado que la administración de vasoconstrictores o la colocación de derivaciones portosistémicas son eficaces para revertir el SHR. Por ello, pueden utilizarse como puente para el trasplante hepático. Finalmente, el riesgo de desarrollar SHR en el contexto de una peritonitis bacteriana espontánea puede prevenirse administrando albúmina junto con los antibióticos correspondientes y, en los casos de hepatitis alcohólica aguda grave, administrando pentoxifilina
Hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) is a severe complication in patients with cirrhosis and ascites. Renal insufficiency is functional and is caused by renal vasoconstriction. HRS occurs in 10% of patients with advanced cirrhosis. Diagnosis of HRS is based on ruling out other causes of renal insufficiency. There are two types of HRS: type 1 has rapid onset and progressive course and a mean survival of 15 days without treatment, while type 2 is less severe and progressive, with a mean survival of 6 months. Definitive treatment of HRS is liver transplantation. However, in the last few years administration of vasoconstrictive drugs or placement of portosystemic shunts have been shown to be effective in reversing HRS. Therefore, these measures may be used as a bridge before liver transplantation is performed. Finally, the risk of developing HRS in the context of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis can be prevented by administering albumin together with the corresponding antibiotics. In cases of severe acute alcoholic hepatitis, pentoxifylline can be administered
