    Expected changes in mortality rate of HRS and of pre-renal failure according to the old (1996 – Ref. [6]) and new (2007- Ref. [7]) definitions of HRS because of the stage-migration effect of patients

    Expected changes in mortality rate of HRS and of pre-renal failure according to the old (1996 – Ref. [6]) and new (2007- Ref. [7]) definitions of HRS because of the stage-migration effect of patients with infections not responding to a 2-day course of albumin. Frequencies and mortality rates are approximate and only used for exemplifying purpose.
