hepáticarenal

Hepáticarenal syndrome, also known as hepatic renal syndrome, is a medical condition characterized by the coexistence of liver and kidney dysfunction. This syndrome is often observed in patients with advanced liver disease, such as cirrhosis, and can lead to significant morbidity and mortality. The underlying mechanism involves the accumulation of toxins and metabolic products in the bloodstream, which can impair kidney function. Common symptoms include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and fatigue. Diagnosis typically involves a combination of blood tests, imaging studies, and clinical evaluation. Management focuses on addressing the underlying liver disease, controlling fluid and electrolyte balance, and monitoring kidney function. Supportive care, such as dialysis in severe cases, may be necessary to maintain renal function. Hepáticarenal syndrome highlights the importance of integrated management of liver and kidney diseases to improve patient outcomes.
