Introduction - Cirrhosis, a chronic liver disease, is characterized by diffuse fibrosis process that changing the lobular architecture, resultant of increased cell proliferation and DNA synthesis in the regenerating nodules. Admittedly, cirrhosis of any etiology, confers a higher risk of hepatoceular carcinoma (HCC), which is the third cause of cancer death worldwide. In this context, th…
Hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) is a potentially reversible cause of acute renal failure (ARF) in patients with advanced cirrhosis and ascites, with high mortality. It is related to intense splanchnic arterial vasodilation with consequent reduction in effective arterial blood volume, and maintaining circulatory function will fall mainly on the renal circulation, with severe renal vasoconstrict…

Risk factors for HCC include a hepatitis C virus (HCV) and B virus (HBV), alcoholism, primary biliary cirrhosis, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, prolonged exposure to aflatoxin, inherited metabolic diseases, and also genetic alterations which can affect several cellular pathways. In this context, one can point out …
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most aggressive form of liver cancer. Risk factors for HCC include hepatitis B and C, alcoholic cirrhosis, prolonged exposure to aflatoxin, inherited metabolic diseases, addition to genetic changes that can affect many cellular pathways. This context highlights the vascular endothelial growth factor, which has been associated to the carcinogenic proce…
