Implication of Acute Kidney Injury in Heart Failure.
Patients with acute or chronic decompensated heart failure (ADHF) present with various degrees of heart and kidney dysfunction characterizing cardiorenal syndrome (CRS). CRS can be generally defined as a pathophysiologic disorder of the heart and kidneys whereby acute or chronic dysfunction of 1 organ may induce acute or chronic dysfunction of the other. ADHF is a challenge in the management of heart failure. This review provides an overview the pathophysiology of type 1 CRS together with new approaches to treatment in patients with heart failure with worsening renal function or acute kidney disease.
