Liver and kidney diseases.
The spectrum of renal disease in patients with liver disease is expanding. The recognition of renal complications of liver diseases is essential in the management of these patients. As liver transplantation is a treatment option for many patients with chronic liver disease, the presence of renal complications impacts the decision regarding transplantation and influences the course of these patients after transplantation, especially with regard to the use of immunosuppressive therapy. The involvement of the liver and kidney in systemic conditions is common and adds to the morbidity and mortality of patients.
