What is Hepatorenal Syndrome?

Hepatorenal Syndrome is a type of kidney failure that can develop in individuals with severe liver disease, most commonly advanced cirrhosis. Changes in blood flow and circulation caused by liver dysfunction can reduce blood supply to the kidneys, leading to worsening kidney function despite structurally normal kidneys.

Prompt evaluation by a nephrologist can help identify kidney complications early and guide appropriate management.

Common Symptoms of Hepatorenal Syndrome

Symptoms can vary depending on the severity of liver and kidney involvement but may include:

• Reduced urine output
• Fluid retention and swelling
• Abdominal bloating (ascites)
• Fatigue and weakness
• Elevated creatinine levels
• Worsening kidney function
• Confusion or mental status changes

If you have liver disease and notice changes in kidney function or fluid balance, specialist nephrology assessment may be beneficial.
