Renal dysfunction is a significant concern for patients with liver cirrhosis, affecting nearly 50% of those hospitalised and leading to various complications that can reduce survival rates. Recently, the diagnostic criteria for acute kidney injury (AKI) and hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) have been updated to better capture the diversity and incidence of these conditions in cirrhotic patients.
This episode of EASL Studio will:
- Explore the updated definitions and standardisation of AKI in the context of cirrhosis.
- Review recent clinical trials, including ATTIRE and CONFIRM, and their implications for patient care.
- Provide a critical analysis of current and emerging strategies for managing renal dysfunction in cirrhosis.
Faculty: Debbie Shawcross (Moderator), Pere Gines (Faculty), Salvatore Piano (Faculty), Florence Wong (Faculty)
