Abstract
Acute renal dysfunction is common in patients with alcoholic hepatitis (AH). Its presence leads to higher mortality in these patients. Despite advances in medical care, the outcome has changed little over the past decades. Studies using Pentoxifylline and molecular adsorbent recirculation system have shown encouraging data in small studies. Further larger well designed studies are needed to assess these modalities of treatment for the treatment of AH.
