Resumo

A síndrome hepatorrenal (SHR) é o desenvolvimento do quadro de insufi ciência renal em pacientes com doença hepática crônica prévia sem evidências clínica ou laboratorial de nefropatia prévia. Atinge até 18% dos pacientes cirróticos com ascite em um ano, chegando a 39% em cinco anos, com uma sobrevida média em torno de duas semanas após estabelecido o quadro. O diagnóstico da SHR baseia-se em critérios clínicos e laboratoriais. Seu aparecimento está relacionado ao mecanismo de formação de ascite, que envolve vasoconstrição e hipofl uxo renal, retenção de água e sódio, aumento do volume plasmático, e conseqüentemente hiperfl uxo no território esplâncnico. Mediadores vasoativos renais e humorais, como a endotelina 1, tromboxano A2 e leucotrienos, estão ainda envolvidos na gênese desta síndrome que culmina com insufi ciência renal funcional. O tratamento preconizado da SHR pode ser farmacológico ou cirúrgico, sendo o transplante de fígado o único efetivo e permanente, com sobrevida de até 60% em quatro anos. Após melhora da função hepática, geralmente há a reversão da insufi ciência renal. O diagnóstico precoce e a rápida terapêutica podem ampliar a expectativa de vida destes hepatopatas enquanto se aguarda o transplante hepático para seu tratamento definitivo.
