Hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) is functional renal failure that occurs with advanced liver failure. HRS is considered the most severe complication of cirrhosis. Type 1 HRS develops due to severe reduction of effective circulating volume results in hemodynamic dysfunction. Type 1 HRS is characterized by acute renal failure and rapid deterioration in the function of other organs. It can occur spontaneously or in the setting of a precipitating event. Type 2 hepatorenal syndrome (HRS), which is characterized by slowly progressive renal failure and refractory ascites. Liver transplantation is the only definitive treatment for both types. The most suitable “bridge treatments” or treatment for patients ineligible for a liver transplant include terlipressin plus albumin.
