Can you spot the clinical presentation of hepatorenal syndrome-acute kidney injury (HRS-AKI)? Are you able to navigate the necessary patient evaluations for safe and effective treatment?

In this interactive Clinical Case Challenge, you'll test your ability to promptly recognize the signs of HRS-AKI and perform essential patient assessments to guide appropriate initiation of vasoconstrictor therapy in a case-based simulation. Receive immediate feedback on your decisions and see how well you can apply current HRS-AKI guidelines to a realistic patient scenario.

Afterwards, you'll have an opportunity to download a summary of key evidence and an HRS-AKI Quick Reference Guide for Nurses to strengthen recognition and response at the bedside.

Learning Objectives

  • Recognize the causes, risk factors, and precipitating factors of hepatorenal syndrome-acute kidney injury (HRS-AKI)
  • Identify clinical indictors and laboratory findings associated with the diagnostic criteria for HRS-AKI to support early diagnosis and intervention
  • Integrate best practices for pre-treatment assessment and post-treatment monitoring of patients receiving vasoconstrictor therapy for HRS-AKI
  • Apply proactive communication strategies with the multidisciplinary care team to facilitate prompt and evidence-based management of patients with HRS-AKI
