OVERVIEW
Hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) is a serious functional kidney impairment that occurs as a complication of hepatic cirrhosis. HRS-acute kidney injury (AKI) accounts for 75% of all HRS cases, and is associated with high in-hospital mortality and poor long-term survival without liver transplantation. Despite updated guidelines and therapeutic advancements, the prognosis for high-risk patients remains poor. The early recognition and treatment of HRS-AKI are essential for optimizing both short-term and long-term outcomes.
In this interactive MedscapeLIVE! educational symposium, a panel of experts will walk you through a patient case and provide guidance on how to make a prompt diagnosis and effectively manage these patients to improve their outcomes. Join us for this 90- minute CME-certified learning event to get the answers you need for managing your patients with HRS-AKI!
