Abstract:
The renal histopathological findings of the 71 cases with complete clinical histories were observed, 40 cases developed clinically hepatorenal syndrome, including 11 cases with functional renal failure and 29 cases with acute tubular necrosis.Moreover the former was liable to convert into the latter in coures of time.It was suggested that hepatorenal syndrome should be defined as a complication of advanced liver diseases such as extensive liver cirrhosis, hepatoma, fulminant heptitis,etc.,characterised by acute renal failure with oliguria and azotemia, which pathologically may be shown as functional renal failure or acute tubular necrosis.This paper discussed the pathogenesis of functional renal failure and acute tubular necrosis, the relationship between renal failure and histologic changes of kidneys, as well as the prognosis of hepatorenal syndrome.
