A. Decreased serum creatinine and increased urine output

B. Increased serum creatinine and elevated BUN

C. Increased glomerular filtration rate (GFR)

D. Decreased serum potassium and decreased BUN

Answer: B. Increased serum creatinine and elevated BUN

Rationale

Hepatorenal syndrome is a type of kidney failure that occurs in clients with severe liver disease. The kidneys themselves are structurally normal, but renal perfusion becomes severely decreased.

Expected findings include:

  • ↑ Serum creatinine
  • ↑ BUN
  • ↓ GFR
  • Oliguria (low urine output)
  • Dilutional hyponatremia may occur

Why the others are wrong:

  • A: Creatinine would increase, not decrease.
  • C: GFR decreases due to poor renal perfusion.
  • D: BUN typically increases, not decreases.
