Resumen

El desarrollo de insuficiencia renal ocurre con frecuencia en los pacientes con enfermedad hepática crónica avanzada (EHCA). Su aparición dificulta el tratamiento de las complicaciones de la hepatopatía y empeora su pronóstico. Si bien la causa más frecuente de insuficiencia renal en estos pacientes es la prerrenal, es importante sospechar la presencia de un síndrome hepatorrenal (AKI-HRS), ya que el diagnóstico y el tratamiento precoz han demostrado mejorar la supervivencia. El AKI-HRS es un trastorno funcional renal grave y potencialmente reversible, secundario a la disfunción circulatoria sistémica y esplácnica característica de los pacientes con cirrosis, hipertensión portal y ascitis. El diagnóstico del AKI-HRS debe sospecharse cuando el paciente no responde a las medidas iniciales y, además, cumple una serie de criterios diagnósticos específicos. El tratamiento del síndrome hepatorrenal se basa en la administración combinada de vasoconstrictores esplácnicos y albúmina por vía intravenosa. La terlipresina administrada en infusión continua es el vasoconstrictor más empleado. El desarrollo de AKI-HRS conlleva una elevada mortalidad, siendo el trasplante hepático el tratamiento definitivo, por lo que debe considerarse de forma individualizada en cada paciente.
