Aims: To determine if newer criteria for diagnosing and staging acute kidney injury (AKI)
during heart failure (HF) admission are more predictive of clinical outcomes at 30 days and 1 …

Patients with heart failure (HF) commonly have multiple comorbid diseases that complicate
management. Risk factors, such as smoking, obesity, and advanced age, increase the …

Background: The relationship between acute kidney injury (AKI) in the acute phase of acute
decompensated heart failure (ADHF) and patient outcome has not yet been reported …

Heart and kidney disease often coexist in the same patient, and observational studies have
shown that cardiac disease can directly contribute to worsening kidney function and vice …

Although patients hospitalized with heart failure have relatively low in-hospital mortality, the
post-discharge rehospitalization and mortality rates remain high despite advances in …

Heart failure is a disease with high incidence and prevalence in the population. The costs
with hospitalization for decompensated heart failure reach approximately 60% of the total …

Purpose The observation periods and thresholds of serum creatinine and urine output
defined in the Acute Kidney Injury Network (AKIN) criteria were not empirically derived. By …

The cardiorenal syndrome has recently been defined as “disorders of the heart and kidney
whereby acute or chronic dysfunction in one organ may induce acute or chronic dysfunction …

Renal dysfunction (RD) is a frequent comorbid condition and a major determinant of
outcomes in patients with heart failure (HF). It is likely that the etiology of RD in patients with …

Numerous studies over the last decade have demonstrated that renal dysfunction and
worsening renal function (WRF) are common in patients hospitalized for heart failure (HHF) …
