    Abstract Ascites is the most common complication of cirrhosis, with 5-year mortality reaching 30%. Complications of ascites (ie, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, hepatorenal syndrome, recurrent/refractory ascites, and hepatic hydrothorax) further worsen survival. The development of ascites is driven by portal hypertension, systemic inflammation, and splanchnic arterial vasodilation. Etiologic treatment and nonselective beta-blockers can prevent ascites in compensated cirrhosis. The treatment of ascites is currently based on the management of fluid overload (eg, diuretics, sodium restriction, and/or paracenteses). In selected patients, long-term albumin use, norfloxacin prophylaxis, and transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt reduce the risk of further decompensation and improve survival.

    Abstract Hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) is a form of kidney dysfunction that characteristically occurs in liver cirrhosis. It is characterized by a marked impairment of kidney function in response to circulatory and hemodynamic alterations that occur in advanced stages of liver cirrhosis, aggravated by systemic inflammation and bacterial translocation. The classical definitions of the types of HRS have been recently revisited and 2 forms of HRS have been redefined: the acute form, referred to as acute kidney injury (HRS-AKI), and the chronic form, referred to as chronic kidney disease. HRS-AKI is one of the most severe forms of AKI in patients with cirrhosis and it consists of an abrupt impairment of kidney function, frequently triggered by an infection, appearing in the setting of advanced decompensated cirrhosis. Differential diagnosis with other causes of AKI is crucial because HRS-AKI requires a specific treatment. Differential diagnosis with AKI-acute tubular necrosis may be challenging and kidney biomarkers may be useful in this setting. Treatment of HRS-AKI is based on the administration of vasoconstrictor drugs in combination with volume expansion with albumin. Prognosis of HRS-AKI is poor, and the ideal definitive treatment consists of liver transplantation or simultaneous liver-kidney transplantation. HRS-AKI has a big impact on patients' quality of life. Management of HRS-AKI remains challenging in specific situations such as alcohol-associated hepatitis or metabolic-associated steatotic liver disease cirrhosis. Developing preventive measures for HRS-AKI, improving its early identification, discovering new biomarkers for differential diagnosis, and improving the response to therapy are some of the unmet needs in the field of HRS-AKI.

    Abstract Bacterial infections (BIs) are the most common precipitating event of acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) and a frequent complication of ACLF. BIs aggravate the course of the syndrome and are associated with higher mortality rates. For this reason, BIs should be promptly diagnosed and treated in all patients with ACLF. The administration of an appropriate empirical antibiotic therapy improves survival in patients with BIs and ACLF and is the cornerstone of treatment. Due to the spread of antibiotic resistance worldwide, the empirical treatment should cover multi-drug-resistant organisms. Herein we reviewed the current evidence about the management of BIs in ACLF.

    Abstract Bacterial infections are ominous events in liver cirrhosis. Cirrhosis-associated immune dysfunction and pathologic bacterial translocation are responsible for the increased risk of infections. Bacteria induce systemic inflammation, which worsens circulatory dysfunction and induces oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction. Bacterial infections, frequently associated with decompensation, are the most common precipitating event of acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF). After decompensation, patients with cirrhosis have an increased risk of developing infections. Bacterial infections should be ruled out in these patients and strategies to prevent infections should be implemented to prevent further decompensation. We review infections as a cause and consequence of decompensation in cirrhosis.
