This study was done to determine the frequency of hepatorenal syndrome according to 2007 international ascites club criteria among patients of cirrhosis attending Medical Units of Civil hospital Karachi.Methods: This is a cross-sectional study conducted on the hospitalized patients in the Department of Medicine-Civil Hospital Karachi from 01-04-2014 to30-09-2014 where total 265 patients of either gender, age >18 years &<60 years & diagnosed case of CLD were included. Patients with shock, SIRS, sepsis, known cases of intrinsic renal diseases, or history of diabetes mellitus, Hypertension or connective tissue diseases were excluded.

Mean±SD duration of chronic liver disease was 5.60±1.92 years with a range of 3–12 years. More than 155 (58%) participants in this study were male and females were 110 (41.51%). More than 36 (13%) were of age less than and equal to 40 years; 121 (45.67%) were from 41–50 years, while 108 (40.75%) were from age 51–60 years.

Almost every seventh patient of Cirrhosis can develop hepatorenal Syndrome. This should be looked up at an early stage so that it can be prevented
