Cardio-renal syndrome: diagnosis and treatment

Síndrome cardio-renal: diagnóstico y tratamiento

Erico Segovia

Abstract

Heart and renal diseases frequently coexist. Both conditions share several pathogenic mechanisms, are difficult to manage and expensive to treat due to frequent hospitalizations and the requirement of uncommon procedures. They also entail significant morbidity and mortality. The Cardio-Renal Syndrome has been described, in which both organs are involved and their interaction is both ways. The article also covers the five-type classification and their different characteristics are described. Different possible therapies are looked into referring to studies and documented experiences, highlighting the risks and advantages of each one of them.
