What Are The Signs Of Kidney Failure
Health Encyclopedia: Hepatorenal Syndrome
Treatment is aimed at improving liver function, and ensuring that the amount of blood in the body and the heart pumping action are adequate. The disorder is generally treated in the same manner as kidney failure from any other cause. All unnecessary medicines are stopped. This is especially true for the antibioticneomycin, NSAIDS (pain relievers such as ibuprofen) and diuretics ("water pills").
