Abstract EN
Cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) clinical types, prevalence, aetiology, and acute cardiovascular morbidity impact on the outcome of acute kidney function perturbation were determined.
Forty-seven of 101 (46.53%) patients with perturbed kidney function had CRS.
Types 3 and 5 CRS were found in 10 and 37 patients, respectively.
Type 3 CRS was due to acute glomerulonephritis (AGN; n=7), captopril (n=1), frusemide (n=1), and hypovolaemia (n=1).
Malaria-associated haemoglobinuria (n=20), septicaemia (n=11), lupus nephritis (n=3), tumour lysis syndrome (n=2), and acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (n=1) caused Type 5 CRS.
The cumulative mortality in hypertensive CRS was similar to nonhypertensive CRS (51.4% versus 40.9%; P=.119).
Mortality in CRS and non-CRS was similar (45.7% versus 24.5%; P=.053).
Type 5 survived better than type 3 CRS (66.7% versus 12.5%; P=.001).
Risk factors for mortality were Type 3 CRS (P=.001), AGN-associated CRS (P=.023), dialysis requiring CRS (P=.008), and heart failure due to causes other than anaemia (P=.003).
All-cause-mortality was 34.2%.
Preventive measures aimed at the preventable CRS aetiologies might be critical to reducing its prevalence.
