Aug 23rd, 2013 - Primary Hypothesis: An intensive management strategy for renal support in critically ill patients with acute renal failure decreases mortality as compared to less intensive (conventionally recommended) management strategies for renal replacement t...

Hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) is a common cause of acute kidney injury (AKI) in cirrhotic patients and has a one month survival rate of 50% and a 3 month survival rate of 20%. The leading theory behind HRS is selective vasoconstriction of renal vascu...
