Abstract
Background: Hyperdynamic syndrome is a well-known clinical condition found in patients with cirrhosis and portal hypertension. Hence; under the light of above evidence, we planned the present study to analyze the correlation of renal dysfunction with severity of disease in liver cirrhosis patients. Materials & methods: The present study included assessment of correlation of renal dysfunction with severity of disease in liver cirrhosis patients. A total of 50 patients diagnosed with liver cirrhosis were included in the present study. Routine investigations in all the patients were carried out. Child Pugh Score Grading System was used for assessing the severity of disease in liver cirrhosis patients. Renal profile in all the patients was assessed and was correlated with the severity of disease as evaluated by Child- Pugh Score. All the results were compiled and analyzed by SPSS software. Results: 13 percent, 27 percent and 10 percent of the subjects were Grade A, B and C respectively. Serum Creatinine levels and blood urea were used as parameters for assessing the renal dysfunction. Raised levels of blood urea and serum Creatinine were found to be present in 12 patients. Conclusion: Significant correlation exists between the renal dysfunction and severity of disease in patients with cirrhosis of liver.
