Retensi natrium merupakan kelainan fungsional ginjal pertama dan paling sering pada pasien dengan sirosis serta memainkan peranan penting dalam pembentukan asites dan edema. Dalam perjalanan sirosis, pasien mengalami ketidakmampuan ginjal untuk mengeluarkan air bebas larutan yang dapat menyebabkan hiponatremia dilusional dan sindrom hepatorenal. Pengobatan sindrom hepatorenal bertujuan untuk mengembalikan vasodilatasi arteri splanknik dan mening

Figure 17.2 Urinary sodium excretion, diuresis after a water load (20 mL/kg body weight of 5% dextrose IV) and glomerular filtration rate (GFR, insulin clearance) in a series of patients with cirrhosis hospitalized for the treatment of an episode of ascites. All patients were studied after a minimum of 5 days on a 50 mEq/day sodium diet and without diuretic therapy. Values in healthy subjects studied under the same conditions are urine sodium, 40 to 60 mEq/day; diuresis after a water load, 10 to 18 mL/minute; GFR, 110 to 140 mL/minute. Most patients had marked sodium and water retention. Moderate reductions of GFR were present in two thirds of patients, whereas a marked reduction of this parameter was found in 18%.
