Overview

Cardiac and renal dysfunction of different degree is common combination in patients in clinical practice. This combination of cardiovascular and renal injury has been defined as a cardiorenal syndrome. The aim of this paper is to offer a comprendious information about actual insights into pathophysiology, terminology, classification and management of cardiorenal syndrome from cardiologist’s point of view.

Key words:
cardiorenal syndrome – acute heart failure – acute kidney injury – chronic heart failure – chronic renal insufficiency
