TLDR
Almost 50% of the cirrhotic patients with ascites developed some type of functional renal failure during the follow-up period; renal failure was associated with worse prognosis.About:

Renal Failure in Cirrhosis
Pere Ginès,Robert W. Schrier +1 more
TL;DR: This review discusses recently identified information about renal failure in cirrhosis and clinical interventions that may assist in the prevention and management of this complication.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contemporary Epidemiology of Chronic Liver Disease and Cirrhosis
TL;DR: Although vaccination, screening, and anti-viral treatment campaigns for hepatitis B and C have reduced CLD burden in some parts of the world, concomitant increases in injection drug use, alcohol misuse and metabolic syndrome threaten these trends.

A modified acute kidney injury classification for diagnosis and risk stratification of impairment of kidney function in cirrhosis.
Claudia Fagundes,Rogelio Barreto,Mónica Guevara,Elisabet Garcia,Elsa Solà,Ezequiel Rodríguez,Isabel Graupera,Xavier Ariza,Gustavo Pereira,Ignacio Alfaro,Andrés Cárdenas,Javier Fernández,Esteban Poch,Pere Ginès +13 more
TL;DR: A classification that combines the AKIN criteria and classical criteria of kidney failure in cirrhosis provides a better risk stratification than AKin criteria alone.

Impact of acute kidney injury on distant organ function: recent findings and potential therapeutic targets
Kent Doi,Hamid Rabb +1 more
TL;DR: The topic of organ cross talk in AKI is updated and potential therapeutic targets to improve patient outcomes during AKI-associated multiple organ failure are focused on.

Diagnosis, treatment and survival of patients with hepatorenal syndrome: A survey on daily medical practice
Francesco Salerno,Massimo Cazzaniga,Manuela Merli,Giancarlo Spinzi,Simone Saibeni,A. Salmi,Stefano Fagiuoli,Antonio Spadaccini,E. Trotta,Giacomo Laffi,Maurizio Koch,Oliviero Riggio,S. Boccia,Martina Felder,Simona Balzani,Savino Bruno,Paolo Angeli +16 more
TL;DR: The diagnostic criteria of HRS in the authors' daily-clinical-practice could not be completely fulfilled in one third of cases and Mortality was strongly predicted by simple baseline variables.

Definitions for Sepsis and Organ Failure and Guidelines for the Use of Innovative Therapies in Sepsis
Roger C. Bone,Robert A. Balk,F. B. Cerra,R. P. Dellinger,A. M. Fein,William A. Knaus,Roland M. H. Schein,W. J. Sibbald +7 more
TL;DR: An American College of Chest Physicians/Society of Critical Care Medicine Consensus Conference was held in Northbrook in August 1991 with the goal of agreeing on a set of definitions that could be applied to patients with sepsis and its sequelae as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Natural history and prognostic indicators of survival in cirrhosis: a systematic review of 118 studies.
TL;DR: The natural history of cirrhosis is outlined, the model for end stage liver disease (MELD) has replaced the Child–Pugh score in the United States for prioritizing liver donor allocation and a systematic review of the literature regarding predictors of mortality in cirrhotic patients is reported on.

Model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) and allocation of donor livers
Russell H. Wiesner,Erick B. Edwards,Richard B. Freeman,Ann M. Harper,Ray Kim,Patrick S. Kamath,Walter K. Kremers,John R. Lake,Todd K. Howard,Robert M. Merion,Robert A. Wolfe,Ruud A.F. Krom,Paul M. Colombani,Paige C. Cottingham,Stephen P. Dunn,John J. Fung,Douglas W. Hanto,Sue V. McDiarmid,John M. Rabkin,Lewis W. Teperman,Jeremiah G. Turcotte,Lynn Rothberg Wegman +21 more
TL;DR: Data suggest that the MELD score is able to accurately predict 3-month mortality among patients with chronic liver disease on the liver waiting list and can be applied for allocation of donor livers.

Peripheral arterial vasodilation hypothesis: a proposal for the initiation of renal sodium and water retention in cirrhosis.
TL;DR: The stimulation of the renin‐angiotensin‐aldosterone system, vasopressin release and sympathetic nervous system associated with cirrhosis is not consonant with primary volume expansion, and favors the “overflow” hypothesis.
