Mechanism and treatment of portal-systemic circulatory imbalance in hepatorenal syndrome / 临床肝胆病杂志

ABSTRACT

Hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) is a serious complication of end-stage liver disease, and its pathogenesis is associated with the systemic hemodynamic changes such as portal hypertension, arterial vasodilation, reduced cardiac output, reduced effective circulating blood volume, and renal artery contraction, as well as portal-systemic circulatory imbalance. For the treatment of HRS at present, vasoactive agents and interventional treatment are used to change systemic hemodynamics and portal-systemic circulatory imbalance, and early intervention can improve the prognosis of patients.
