Purpose To assess the accuracy of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) measurements obtained
with low–contrast agent dose dynamic contrast material–enhanced magnetic resonance …

Background and aims Current creatine-based criteria for defining acute kidney injury (AKI)
are validated in general hospitalised patients but their application to cirrhotics (who are …

Background: Renal hemodynamic measurements are complicated to perform in patients
with cirrhosis, yet they provide the best measure of risk to predict hepatorenal syndrome …

Acute kidney injury (AKI) describes the abrupt decrease in renal function. AKI represents a
broad clinical syndrome that entails numerous etiologies, which are classified by their …

Background: Cystatin C is reportedly a better endogenous marker of glomerular filtration rate
than serum creatinine, so the prognostic value of cystatin C in patients with ST-elevation …

Terlipressin is an analogue of vasopressin that has potent vasoactive properties and has
been available for use in most countries for nearly two decades. It has both established roles …

Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common in cirrhotic patients and is associated with
negative outcomes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the presence of AKI and its …

PURPOSE: Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) creation has been shown
to improve renal function in small series of patients with hepatorenal syndrome. The present …

The measurement of kidney function after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) is still a
clinical challenge. Cystatin C (CysC) has been proposed as a more accurate marker of renal …

Background/Aims: The present study aimed to determine the role of cystatin C as a
prognostic factor for acute kidney injury and survival in cirrhotic patients. Methods: The study …
