We have described an advanced case of type A2 hepatorenal syndrome with subsequent recovery. The renal failure in this syndrome is secondary to the hepatic failure. In this patient, renal support was afforded by peritoneal dialysis, while hepatic recovery was facilitated by takedown of a jejunoileal shunt and by intravenous hyperalimentation. As liver function returned toward the normal range, renal function improved. Reversal of hepatic dysfunction is critical for reversal of hepatorenal syndrome of the type A2 variety.
