Abstract: The purpose of this review was to go over and condense the intricate details that have been updated over time about the diagnosis, etiopathology, definition, and available treatments for hepatorenal syndrome. When individuals have decompensated liver disease, acute kidney injury might have multiple causes, including hormone replacement therapy (HRS). Type 1 and type 2 are the two clinical subtypes of hepatorenal syndrome. Lack of proteinuria, hematuria, or aberrant renal ultrasonography, as well as declining kidney function, are the basis for the diagnosis. Liver transplantation is the best treatment for cases of HRS, but because of the high death rate, very few people get one. In light of the improved understanding of the condition, more hepatorenal syndrome therapeutic options, including pharmacological and non-pharmacological techniques, are also explored.

Keywords: Liver Transplant, Cirrhosis, Terlipressin, Kidney Failure, Diagnostic, Treatment, and Hepatorenal Syndrome.
