Case report reveals reversible renal dysfunction in patients with liver cirrhosis and sepsis, suggesting a need for careful diagnosis.
Hepatorenal Syndrome–Acute Kidney Injury (HRS-AKI) is a form of renal dysfunction occurring in advanced stages of liver cirrhosis, characterized by renal vasoconstriction without structural kidney abnormalities. Differentiating HRS-AKI from acute kidney injury (AKI) caused by sepsis or hypovolemia is often challenging in clinical practice. The atypical or reversible variant arises when multiple precipitating factors coexist; therefore, application of the 2023 International Club of Ascites–Acute Disease Quality Initiative (ICA–ADQI) criteria is essential to establish an accurate diagnosis.
