Hepatorenal syndrome is a type of kidney failure seen in patients with liver disease, usually cirrhosis. It is characterized by severe vasodilation in the systemic circulation and constriction of the renal arteries. This leads to decreased renal blood flow and kidney dysfunction. There are two main types - type 1 is a rapidly progressive form with high mortality, while type 2 progresses more slowly over weeks to months. Treatment involves use of vasoconstrictors like terlipressin with albumin to increase renal blood flow. Liver transplantation offers the best chance of cure but is limited by availability and risk of complications in patients with hepatorenal syndrome.
A simple description of a less understood topic in Intensive Care Medicine. Aim to make understanding and management easy for the residents and prevention steps for all ICU workers.
hepatorenal syndrome is a one of the complication of cirrhosis of liver. It causes hepatic decompensation of liver. It has high risk of mortality. HRS has two types and type 1 usually present as a acute kidney injury. so, at first HRS should exclude from AKI. HRS type 2 present as a refractory ascites. As this has worst prognosis, only valuable management is liver transplantation.

OLD and NEW definition of Hepatorenal syndrome , EASL 2018 +AASLD 2012 guidelines , pathophysiology mechanisms , Precipitants of HRS , prevention and treatment of HRS , new drugs for HRS on lane , few evidences .
Sudden impairment of kidney function occurring over a period of hours to days.
AKI is present in 7% of all hospitalized patients, and up to 30% of patients in ICU
The incidence is increasing at an alarming rate
That's why we need ideal biomarker to diagnose the AKI as early as possible and deliver better treatment to the patient.
Renal Replacement Therapy: modes and evidenceMohd Saif Khan
Renal replacement therapy is a supportive care often required in critically ill patients who develop acute renal failure and its complications. Complexity arises when such patients become hemodynamically unstable and pose special challenge to critical care clinicians in ICU to carefully choose dialytic modality to tackle volume and solute overload. This presentation is about short description of modalities of RRT and current evidence regarding initiation, dose and type of modality.

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

2. INTRODUCTION
PRE-RENAL type of renal failure
seen in patients of liver disease
(mostly cirrhosis, sometimes acute)
ALTERED HAEMODYNAMICS
FUNCTIONAL
Renal Histology NORMAL
3.
DEFINITION BY
INTERNATIONAL ASCITES
CLUB:-
Hepatorenal syndrome is a
clinical condition that develops
in patients with chronic/acute
liver disease and advanced
hepatic failure and portal
hypertension.
4. Characterized by impaired renal
function and marked
abnormalities in the arterial
circulation and activity of the
endogenous vasoactive systems.
11. Cirrhosis with ascites
Serum creatinine level ≥
1.5 mg/dL
No or insufficient
improvement in serum
creatinine level (remains
≥1.5 mg/dL) 48 hr after
diuretic withdrawal and
adequate volume expansion
with intravenous albumin
12. Absence of shock
No evidence of recent use
of nephrotoxic agents
Absence of intrinsic renal
disease
13. Major Criteria
Low GFR indicated by S.creatinine > 1.5 mg/dL
or creatinine clearance < 40 ml/min
Absence of shock, ongoing bacterial
infection, current treatment with
nephrotoxic drugs
No sustained improvement in renal function
(decrease in serum creatinine to 1.5mg/dL or
increase in creatinine clearance to 40 ml/min)
after diuretic withdrawal & expansion of
plasma volume with 1.5 L of a plasma expander
Proteinuria < 500 mg/ dL & no USG evidence
of obstructive uropathy or parenchymal renal
disease
15. NOTE:
Decrease muscle mass in
CLD, in turn result in
reduced serum creatinine
and blood urea nitrogen
levels- delaying recognition
of HRS.
16. Diuretics, lactulose may
influence intravascular
volume status & renal
perfusion.
HRS in 20 to 30% of SBP
patients. Low threshold for
evaluating cirrhotic patients
with ascites for the presence
of SBP needed.
17. CLINICAL FEATURES
Due to liver disease
Due to complications of
cirrhosis
Decreased urine output
(Note: Oliguria may not be
present initially in all cases
of HRS)
18. HRS diagnosed in an
individual at risk on basis
of the results of
laboratory tests, in the
exclusion of other
causes.
21. Acute viral hepatitis
Drug-induced liver injury
(acetaminophen, idiopathic
drug-induced hepatitis)
Flare of chronic hepatitis B
virus infection by an
emergent resistant viral
strain or withdrawal of
antiviral therapy or
superimposed acute delta
virus hepatitis.
22. Risk Factors for developing
HRS
Previous episodes of ascites
Poor nutritional status
High plasma renin activity (>4
ng/mL per h)
Low mean arterial pressure
(<85 mm Hg)
25. UNOS has made the following
modifications to the score:
If the patient has
been dialyzed twice within the last
7 days, then the value for serum
creatinine used should be 4.0
Any value less than one is given a
value of 1 (i.e. if bilirubin is 0.8,
a value of 1.0 is used)
26. MELD scores of about 10 is
associated with an 8% and 11% risk
of HRS at 1 and 5
years, respectively.
If the MELD score approaches
18, nearly 40% of patients develop
HRS within 1 year..!!
27. TYPES OF HRS
Type 1 : Cirrhosis with rapidly
progressive acute renal failure
Type 2 : Cirrhosis with sub-acute
renal failure
Type 3 : Cirrhosis with types 1 or 2
HRS superimposed on CKD or AKI
Type 4 : Fulminant liver failure
with HRS
28. TYPE 1
Creatinine level doubles to
greater than 2.5 mg/dL
within 2 weeks
Rapid progression & high
mortality
Median survival - 1 to 2
weeks
TRIGGERS
29. TYPE 2
Creatinine increases slowly and
gradually (several weeks or
months )
Reciprocal gradual reduction in
GFR.
Median survival - 6 months
Without triggers
May transform to type 1 if
trigger
30.
31. TYPE 3
85% of end-stage cirrhotics have
intrinsic renal disease on renal
biopsy
Patients with pre-existing renal
disease do not meet traditional
diagnostic criteria for HRS
They have not been included in
therapeutic clinical trials.
32. . Given the absence of diagnostic
markers for HRS, the evaluation
of a cirrhotic patient with
multiple causes of renal failure is
complex
It is unclear whether a
chronically reduced baseline
GFR, from chronic intrinsic renal
disease, predisposes cirrhotic
patients to develop HRS
33. TYPE 4
More than half of patients
with ALF develop HRS
Superimposed on already
poor prognosis
MECHANISM ??
35. PREVENTION (TRIALS)
Prospective RCTs, Triggers
Norfloxacin for primary
prophylaxis for SBP reduced the 1-
year probability of HRS to
28%, compared with 41% in
controls not administered
antibiotic prophylaxis
Study strongly suggested that
HRS can be prevented in patients
with advanced cirrhosis and ascites
with a low protein content (< 1.5
36.
37. Albumin (1 g/kg
intravenously) at diagnosis
and at day 3 in patients
with SBP significantly
reduced the incidence of
type 1 HRS and the 3-
month mortality
38. Pentoxifylline, 400 mg three
times a day, to patients with
severe acute alcoholic
hepatitis was associated with
a marked reduction in HRS
incidence and in-hospital
mortality
39. Not yet been confirmed by
subsequent large studies.
In context of poor prognosis
of HRS, however, broad
acceptance of these
prophylactic measures
41. Trial on 376 patients –
using terlipressin alone/with
albumin
using octreotide plus albumin
using noradrenalin plus
albumin
42. RESULT: Terlipressin +
albumin - short-term
mortality reduction in type 1
HRS, but no such reduction in
patients with the type 2
Octreotide & noradrenaline
therapies indicated neither
harmful nor beneficial
effects
47. Role of TIPSS
Experimental
If no response to
vasoconstrictor/volume
expansion
Child-Pugh class A or B
Meet criteria for TIPSS
48. Peritoneo-venous shunting
plasma volume expansion &
improvement of circulatory
function
Role in type 2 HRS who often
have refractory ascites
No proven role in type 1
50. BEST AVAILABLE (?)
TREATMENT
can potentially permanently
reverse HRS + other
complications of CLD
Patients with HRS undergoing
transplantation, however, have
a MORE perioperative
morbidity & mortality
51. More practical in type 2
Absence of precipitating
events
Longer clinical course
Relatively less severe renal
failure
