Abstract
Liver disease may be directly or indirectly responsible of renal diseases. The most frequent nephropathies observed in patients with liver disease are: IgA nephropathy in alcoholic patients, cryoglobulinemic or non-cryoglobulinemic membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, as well as membranous glomerulonephritis in patients infected by hepatitis B or C viruses, and finally the hepatorenal syndrome. Complementary investigations should be undertaken in any patient suffering from a liver disease and presenting with an impairment of the renal function in order to implement the most adequate specific therapy.
