It can also occur in individuals without cirrhosis, but with acute onset of liver failure, termed fulminant liver failure. how is it diagnosed? The major criteria include liver disease with portal hypertension, kidney failure, the absence of shock, etc. The minor criteria are a low urine volume, low sodium concentration in the urine, a urine osmolality that is greater than that in the blood, the absence of red blood cells in the urine, and a serum sodium concentration of less than 130 mmol/L. can you name some of the treatments to cure it?
