Abstract

Resumen El síndrome hepatorrenal (SHR) es una complicación frecuente y severa en pacientes con cirrosis hepática e hipertensión portal y se caracteriza por anormalidades circulatorias que llevan a vasoconstricción renal, generando insuficiencia renal funcional. Su fisiopatología ha sido estudiada y el pronóstico es reservado a menos que el paciente reciba trasplante hepático. El tratamiento medicamentoso con vasoconstrictores esplénicos es la esperanza futura de estos pacientes mientras acceden a trasplante hepático. Palabras clave: Síndrome hepatorrenal, Insuficiencia renal, Cirrosis hepática, Tratamiento. Hepatorenal syndrome: up todate Abstract The hepatorenal syndrome is a frequent and severe complication in patients with severe liver disease and portal hypertension, characterized by circulatory abnormalities that lead to renal vasoconstriction, generating a functional renal failure. Its pathophysiology to date is studied and unfortunately his prognosis is ominous, unless the patient is a candidate for liver transplantation (LT). Drug therapy with vasoconstrictors splenic vasculature is today a beacon of hope to reverse in a physiological way to bridge this syndrome and trans-plantation therapy as definitive treatment is achieved.
