K76.7: Hepatorenal syndrome
Your kidneys are no longer working properly. The cause of this is a disease of your liver.
There are normally 2 kidneys in the body. They filter blood and create urine. They thus help to detoxify the body. Furthermore, the kidneys regulate the blood pressure and salt content in the blood, among other things.
The liver is an important organ on the top right of the abdomen. For example, it helps with blood clotting and detoxifying the body. Nutrients from food are processed in the liver.
You have a disease of your liver. The tissue in your liver is inflamed or the tissue has been altered. As a result of the liver disease, your kidneys are not as well supplied with blood as previously. Your kidneys can thus no longer work properly.
