Summary

Cryoshock is a syndrome of coagulopathy, renal, and pulmonary injury following cryotherapy, and its etiology is unknown. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of hepatic cryotherapy on renal function, and wether this effect is related to volume of cryotherapy, and to identify any predictors of renal impairment in patients who undergo cryotherapy. A retrospective analysis of all patients with primary or secondary hepatic malignancy treated with cryotherapy from April 1990 to October 1996 was conducted. Ten of 204 patients with renal impairment were identified. This study suggests that renal impairment is more likely to be seen in patients undergoing more extensive cryotherapy.
