Background: Advanced cirrhosis is a state marked by synthetic and vascular decompensation, rise in splanchnic blood volume, hyper-dynamic condition with, systemic vasodilatation, AKI is one of the side-effects of cirrhosis, happening in about 45% of hospital stayed cases, and was accompanying with higher death. This study aimed to evaluate co-peptin versus VCAM-1 as a biomarker for early detection of HRS-AKI in decompensated cirrhotic patients. Aim: to compare between co-peptin versus VCAM-1 as a biomarker for early detection of HRS-AKI in decompensated cirrhotic patients. Patients and Methods: This study was conducted between January 2020 and June 2021, on 80 patients attending …
