Sponsor's own description

Hepatorenal syndrome is a life-threatening medical condition and a serious complication of advanced liver scarring (cirrhosis). It consists of a deterioration of the function of the kidneys caused by a severe alteration in the circulation (blood flow to the kidneys) due to liver cirrhosis. Only around half of the patients respond to treatment which consists of intravenous medication. Moreover, the adrenal glands, which are located on the kidneys, also suffer an alteration in the blood flow leading to deterioration in their function as well. Thus, these patients produced less cortisol than needed; this situation is called "relative adrenal insufficiency". Cortisol is an important hormone necessary in extreme situations such as severe diseases. This is a study which will assess the relationship between the presence of adrenal dysfunction and failure to treatment in patients with hepatorenal syndrome.
