Intrarenal Resistive Index and Serum Creatinine in Decompensated Chronic Liver Disease: Implications for Early Prediction of Hepatorenal Syndrome

Paper C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

Doctors used ultrasound to measure how hard blood pushes through the kidneys, alongside creatinine, a waste product in the blood that rises when kidneys slow down, in people with advanced liver disease. They report the pair may flag kidney failure caused by liver disease before it is obvious. This was an observational study, so it shows a link between the readings and later kidney trouble, not proof that one causes the other.
