Mashup Score: 137Hepatorenal Syndrome in Cirrhosis - 1 year(s) ago
Hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) is a form of kidney dysfunction that characteristically occurs in liver cirrhosis. It is characterized by a marked impairment of kidney function in response to circulatory and hemodynamic alterations that occur in advanced stages of liver cirrhosis, aggravated by systemic inflammation and bacterial translocation. The classical definitions of the types of HRS have been recently revisited and 2 forms of HRS have been redefined: the acute form, referred to as acute kidney injury (HRS-AKI), and the chronic form, referred to as chronic kidney disease.

Mashup Score: 0Recovery From Dialysis-Treated Acute Kidney Injury in Patients With Cirrhosis: A Population-Based Study - 2 year(s) ago
The decision to initiate kidney replacement therapy (KRT) for acute kidney injury (AKI) in cirrhosis remains controversial because it is unclear which patients will benefit. We sought to characterize factors associated with recovery from KRT-treated AKI in patients with cirrhosis to inform shared clinical decision-making.

Mashup Score: 22Suboptimal diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound and CT for... : Hepatology Communications - 2 year(s) ago
patients with various liver diseases were included. All patients were included between 2017 and 2022 and had undergone a liver biopsy as well as US and/or CT. Using the histological assessment as the gold standard, we calculated diagnostic accuracy for US and CT. Liver biopsies were evaluated by expert histopathologists and diagnostic scans by experienced radiologists. Results: The mean age was 54 ± 14 years and 47% were female. Most patients had NAFLD (58.3%) or alcohol-associated liver disease (25.5%). The liver biopsy showed cirrhosis in 147 patients (39.0%). Eighty-three patients with cirrhosis had Child-Pugh A (56.4% of patients with cirrhosis) and 64 had Child-Pugh B/C (43.6%). Overall, the sensitivity for diagnosing cirrhosis by US was 0.71 (95% CI 0.62–0.79) and for CT 0.74 (95% CI 0.64–0.83). The specificity was high for US (0.94, 95% CI 0.90–0.97) and for CT (0.93, 95% CI 0.83–0.98). When evaluating patients with Child-Pugh A cirrhosis, sensitivity was only 0.62 (95% CI 0.49–
