Summary

The association between renal failure and obstructive jaundice is a well-known clinical setting. Despite numerous clinical and experimental contributions on this topic we are still far from defining the etiology and pathogenesis of renal failure complicating obstructive jaundice. The aim of this chapter is to assess the current extent of the problem, with a close analysis of pathophysiological data concerning the “hepato-renal syndrome”.
