Hepatorenal Syndrome (HRS) continues to be one of the major complications of decompensated cirrhosis leading to death in the absence of liver transplantation. Challenges in precisely evaluating renal function in the patient with cirrhosis remain due to the limitations of serum creatinine (Cr) alone in estimating glomerular filtration rate (GFR); current GFR estimating models appear to underestimate renal dysfunction. Newer models incorporating renal biomarkers, such as the Cr-Cystatin C GFR Equation for Cirrhosis appear to estimate measured GFR more accurately. A major change in the diagnostic criteria for HRS based on dynamic serial changes in serum Cr which regard HRS type 1 as a special form of acute kidney injury (AKI) promises the possibility of earlier identification of renal dysfunction in patients with cirrhosis. The diagnostic criteria of HRS still include the exclusion of other causes of kidney injury. Renal biomarkers have been disappointing in assisting with the differentiation of HRS from pre-renal azotemia and other kidney disorders. Serum metabolomic profiling may be a more powerful tool to assess renal dysfunction although the practical clinical significance of this remains unclear. As a result of the difficulties of assessing renal function in cirrhosis and the varying HRS diagnostic criteria and the rigor with which they are applied, the precise incidence and prevalence of HRS is unknown but it is likely that HRS occurs more commonly than expected. The pathophysiology of HRS is firmly rooted in the setting of progressive reduction in renal blood flow (RBF) as a result of portal hypertension and splanchnic vasodilation. Progressive, marked renal cortical ischemia in patients with cirrhosis parallels the evolution of diuretic-sensitive ascites to diuretic-refractory ascites and HRS, a recognized continuum of renal dysfunction in cirrhosis. Alterations in nitrous oxide (NO) production, both increased and decreased may play a major role in the pathophysiology of this evolution. The inflammatory cascade triggered by bacterial translocation and endotoxemia, increasingly recognized as important in the manifestations of acute on chronic liver failure, may also play a significant role in the pathophysiology of HRS. The mainstay of treatment remains vasopressor therapy with albumin in an attempt to reverse splanchnic vasodilation and improve RBF. Several meta-analyses confirm the value of vasopressors, chiefly terlipressin and noradrenaline, in improving renal function and reversing HRS type 1. Other interventions such as renal replacement therapy, transjugular intrahepatic porto-systemic shunt (TIPS), and artificial liver support systems have a very limited role to improve outcomes in HRS. Liver transplantation remains the definitive treatment for HRS. The frequency of simultaneous liver-kidney transplantation (SLKT) has increased dramatically in the Model for End-stage Liver Disease era, with changes in organ allocation policies. This has resulted in a more urgent need to accurately predict native kidney recovery from HRS after liver transplantation alone, to avoid unnecessary SLKT.
