Diagnostic criteria for hepatorenal syndrome Cirrhosis with ascites Serum Creatinine > 1.5 mg/dL Absence of shock
INTRODUCTION Hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) is a manifestation of extreme circulatory dysfunction. It develops in the setting of advance stage in cirrhosis and carries an ominous prognosis. HRS is diagnosed clinically. Its definition has been updated recently in accordance with the acute kidney injury (AKI) criteria.
Hepatorenal syndrome (HRS), a functional form of kidney failure, is one of the many possible causes of AKI. HRS is potentially reversible but involves highly complex pathogenetic mechanisms and equally complex clinical and therapeutic management. Once HRS has developed, it has a very poor prognosis.
Prevention of hepatorenal syndrome and general patient management strategies Avoid drugs that reduce renal perfusion or nephrotoxic substances Minimize exposure to organ-iodated contrast agents Intravenous albumin is recommended for volemic filling after large volume paracentesis (8 g of albumin for each liter of ascites removed)
ICD-10-CM Code for Hepatorenal syndrome K76. 7.
Hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) is a form of impaired kidney function that occurs in individuals with advanced liver disease. Individuals with hepatorenal syndrome do not have any identifiable cause of kidney dysfunction and the kidneys themselves are not structural damaged.
Two forms of hepatorenal syndrome have been defined: Type 1 HRS entails a rapidly progressive decline in kidney function, while type 2 HRS is associated with ascites (fluid accumulation in the abdomen) that does not improve with standard diuretic medications.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) in the setting of cirrhosis (hepatorenal syndrome [HRS]–AKI) is a severe and often fatal complication of end-stage liver disease. The goals of treatment are to reverse renal failure and prolong survival in patients who are critically ill.
Type I HRS (HRS-1) is characterized by an abrupt deterioration in renal function (in less than 2 weeks), defined by a doubling of baseline sCr to >2.5 mg/dL or a 50% reduction in the initial 24 hrs creatinine clearance to <20 mL/min.
Core tip: Hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) is a severe complication of chronic liver diseases and is usually associated with a poor prognosis.
Introduction. Hepatorenal syndrome is a serious complication of cirrhosis that is associated with high morbidity and mortality. It is characterized by functional circulatory changes in the kidneys that overpower physiologic compensatory mechanisms and lead to reduced glomerular filtration rate.
Hepatorenal Syndrome (HRS) Symptoms and DiagnosisA yellow tint to the skin and eyes (jaundice) caused by too much bilirubin in the blood.An abnormal build-up of fluid in the abdomen (ascites).Reduction in urination.An enlarged spleen.Fatigue.Temporary confusion and/or memory loss (hepatic encephalopathy).More items...

K76. 89 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM K76. 89 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Prognosis for Anyone Living with HRS Most patients die within weeks of the onset of renal (kidney) failure without therapy. In fact, 50% of people die within 2 weeks of diagnosis and 80% of people die within 3 months of diagnosis.
Liver failure occurs when your liver isn't working well enough to perform its functions (for example, manufacturing bile and ridding the body of harmful substances). Symptoms include nausea, loss of appetite, and blood in the stool. Treatments include avoiding alcohol and avoiding certain foods.
Acute liver failure often causes complications, including: Excessive fluid in the brain (cerebral edema). Too much fluid causes pressure to build up in your brain, which can lead to disorientation, severe mental confusion and seizures. Bleeding and bleeding disorders.
Patients with compensated cirrhosis have a median survival that may extend beyond 12 years. Patients with decompensated cirrhosis have a worse prognosis than do those with compensated cirrhosis; the average survival without transplantation is approximately two years [13,14].
