Abstract
The hepatorenal syndrome is a syndrome of functional renal failure due to end stage liver disease. The ideal cure currently available for treating HRS is liver transplantation. Other therapeutic options appear to be those that reverse portal hypertension, splanchnic vasodilation, and/or renal vasoconstriction and renal replacement therapy. All the above mentioned represent a bridge towards liver transplantation.
