We've been seeing a lot of decompensated liver disease recently, likely related to increases in alcohol intake due to the COVID pandemic. Over the next month, several chapters on critical care hepatology be released, exploring how to manage these patients. We start with hepatorenal syndrome and hepatorenal physiology, because this is often the crux of how and why these patients devolve into multi-organ failure.

Hi Josh
I am embarrassed to say that after many years I never knew what this entity is until now having read your thorough, clear, simple, concise description in your IBCC chapter. it’s a little tricky, but not terribly hard to grasp. excellent chapter Josh. thank you
Hey there, thanks for the great article!
You uploaded the wrong pdf (it is about heatstroke)
Hello Dr. Farkas,
Why is in your opinion the following treatment approach would not work:
High Ag II causing vasoconstriction of efferent arteriole to the point of proximal tubules hypoxia>>>give Ace inh. which can prevent the conversion of Ag I to Ag II and effectively decrease Ag II level >> relax efferent art and reverse hypoxia…
Sincerely,
Aleksei
