Mashup Score: 37Cardiorenal Syndrome in the Hospital : Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology - 2 month(s) ago
one of the strongest risk factors for mortality and cardiovascular events in acute decompensated heart failure. Although not well understood, the mechanisms in the cardiorenal syndrome include venous congestion, arterial underfilling, neurohormonal activation, inflammation, and endothelial dysfunction. Arterial underfilling may lead to activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and sympathetic nervous system, leading to sodium reabsorption and vasoconstriction. Venous congestion likely also mediates and perpetuates these maladaptive pathways. To rule out intrinsic kidney disease that is distinct from the cardiorenal syndrome, one should obtain a careful history, review longitudinal eGFR trends, assess albuminuria and proteinuria, and review the urine sediment and kidney imaging. The hallmark of the cardiorenal syndrome is intense sodium avidity and diuretic resistance, often requiring a combination of diuretics with varying pharmacological targets, and monitoring of urinary
