Comment
Renal failure in cirrhosis has been arbitrarily defined as an increase in serum creatinine (SCr) over 1.5 mg/dL which corresponds to a glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of approximately 30 mL/min. This definition (conventional criteria), proposed in 1996 by the International Ascites Club for has been widely accepted one among the hepatology community.
