Assess for one of the following scenarios:

- There is no resolution following the albumin challenge: Refer to the below HRS criteria to diagnose HRS.
†Increase in SCr ≥ 0.3 mg/dL from the baseline within 48 h or a percent increase in SCr of ≥ 50%, which is known or presumed to have occurred within the preceding 7 days
