While other causes of pre-renal acute kidney injury (AKI) respond to fluid infusion, HRS does not. HRS incidence is 5% in children with This illustrated PrimeView focuses on the pathophysiology of acute kidney injury-hepatorenal syndrome and also discusses the diagnosis and management of this serious disorder.
