Hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) is a reversible functional renal impairment, that occurs in patients with advanced liver cirrhosis or those with fulminant hepatic failure. It is characterized by a marked reduction in glomerular filtration rate and renal plasma flow, in the absence of other causes of renal failure. The symptoms of hepatorenal syndrome are fatigue, abdominal pain, malaise, ascites, jaundice, splenomegaly, and hepatomegaly. There are two sub-types of this disease; type 1 and type 2 hepatorenal syndrome. Type 1 hepatorenal syndrome is a rapidly progressive renal failure, defined by doubling of initial serum creatinine to a level >2.5 mg/dl or by a 50% reduction in creatinine clearance to a level <20 ml/min in <2 wk. Type 2 hepatorenal syndrome is a moderate, steady renal failure with a serum creatinine of >1.5 mg/dl. Hepatoren (ifetroban) is the Phase 2 of development by Cumberland Pharmaceuticals for treating HRS. Other than this Noorik Biopharmaceuticals Ltd. is also involved in HRS pipeline.
