INTRODUCTION
The term cardio renal syndrome has been increasingly used at present.
Diabetes is a most important risk factor for cardiorenal syndrome.
CRS generally defined as pathophysiological disorder of the kidneys and
Heart, whereas acute or chronic dysfunction of one organ may induce acute or chronic dysfunction of the other.
Type 1 CRS defined as abrupt worsening of cardiac function (eg acute cardiogenic shock or decompensated congestive cardiac failure) leading to acute kidney injury.
Type 2 CRS reflects a chronic abnormality in cardiac dysfunction (eg chronic congestive failure) lead to progressive chronic kidney disease.
Type 3 CRS Comprises sudden worsening of renal function (eg acute kidney ischemia or glomerulonephritis) causing an acute cardiac dysfunction (heart failure, arrhythmia, ischemia)
Type 4 CRS is defined as a state of chronic kidney disease (eg chronic glomerular disease) contributing to decreased cardiac function, left ventricular hypertrophy and increased risk of adverse cardiovascular events.
Type 5 CRS nothing but systemic conditions (eg. sepsis, diabetes,
Hypertension, amyloidosis, vascultis) causing both cardiac and renal dysfunction.
1
Over all pathogenesis of CRS
Change in renin angiotensin aldosterone system
Imbalance between nitric oxide and reactive oxygen species
Inflammation
Sympathetic nervous system
Diabetes is an important risk factor for kidney disease and cardiovascular disease
Biomarkers contribute early diagnosis of CRS & timely therapeutic intervention.
In diabetes, common consequence of inflammation and oxidative related endothelial dysfunction is fibrosis. In heart failure and kidney disease, fibrosis is a common feature. Therefore, fibrosis is not only a marker, it is a primary driver of pathophysiology in several cardiorenal syndrome.
Risk factors for worsening renal function while heart failure:
Old age
Comorbidities
Drugs like diuretics leads to renal hypoperfusion
ACE inhibitors and ARBs for RAAS blockade leading to renal impairment
Prior Myocardial infarction
Previous renal insufficiency.
2
Risk factors regarding LV failure in CKD
Diabetes
Hypercholesterolemia
Age
Smoking
Obesity
Male sex

Diagnosis of CRS 1 by renal function test and renal biomarkers for acute kidney injury.
Diagnosis of CRS 2 based on Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes
(KDIGO) / Kidney Disease Outcomes Qualitive Initiative (KDOQI) guidelines: albuminuria and /or GFR <60ml/min/1.73 sq m or a sustained decrease in GFR
>5ml/min/1.73 sq m/yr or >10ml/min/1.73 sq m/5 yrs or sustained increase in albuminuria, along with documented or sustained appearance of CCF before the onset or progression of chronic kidney disease
Diagnosis of cardiorenal syndrome type 3, 4 done by ECHO and cardiac biomarkers.
CRS 5 is identified by both renal and cardiac biomarkers, echo and renal function test, ultrasound.
Treatment mainly target on the primary events of cardiorenal syndrome and glycemic control.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
CARDIO-RENAL SYNDROME
INTRODUCTION
The global increase in disease of kidneys and heart is associated with a significant impact mainly on morbidity and mortality rates. A disease causing dysfunction of one organ may lead to a dysfunction of another distant organ due to inter-organ crosstalk pathways. Eg, dysfunction of the heart may affect kidneys negatively and vice-versa. Cardiac and renal functions overlaping and both organ shares common vascular risk factors like diabetes and hypertension. Coexistence of heart and kidney dysfunction defined as a“cardio-renal syndrome” (CRS).This umbrella term denotes primary acute or chronic dysfunction of one, i.e. either the heart or the kidneys, which contribute to the acute or chronic dysfunction of other organ. The Acute Dialysis Quality Initiative (ADQI) work group defined and classified the CRS. This group defined CRS as ‘disorders of the heart and kidneys whereby acute or chronic dysfunction of one organ may affect acute or chronic dysfunction of the other organ’.
Epidemiological data shows the rising of incidence of chronic cardiac diseases including hypertension, heart failure and valvular heart disease have led to increased prevalence of the CRS.4 Epidemiology of CRS have limited Indian data.
In hospitalized patients Indian study, all age groups having CRS, elderly male patients more commonly involved.2 One more study involving hospitalized
6
children, significant risk of mortality seen associated with an increasing incidence of CRS.5
The Acute Decompensated Heart Failure National Registry (ADHERE)6 data shows more than 100,000 patients associated with heart failure (HF) required hospitalization, in that approximately 30% have a diagnosis of chronic kidney disease (CKD) (serum creatinine being greater than 2.0 mg/dl). Over 60% of that patients included in this registry with acute decompensated HF (ADHF) have a stage 3 (GFR<60ml/min per 1.73 m2) or higher stages of Chronic kidney disease.
In “Organ Crosstalk”, complex biological communications and feedback mechanisms occur between the two distant organs for maintaining the normal physiological response of the human body. It is medicated via cellular, molecular, neural and endocrine pathways.
This pathway maintaining homeostasis. But when one organ develops a dysfunction because of disease states, this one lead to initiate and perpetuate structural /functional dysfunction of the another organ also. An, acute and chronic cardiac diseases can directly reflects to the concurrent acute / chronic worsening of the renal function or vice versa. Distant organ dysfunction leading to increased mortality and morbidity in Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) due to different mechanisms, which include inflammatory cascades, cell adhesion molecules, up- regulated cytokine and chemokine expressions, neutrophil migration, leukocyte trafficking, caspase-mediated apoptosis, and oxidative stress .Physio-pathological mechanisms, for the simultaneous involvement of both cardiovascular and renal
7
functions, causing the CRS is very complex and not yet been fully understood the pathophysiology. Development of primary cardiac or renal dysfunction, lead to the renin angiotensin aldosterone system (RAAS), pressure sensing baroreceptors, cellular signalling and sympathetic nervous system (SNS) mechanisms dysfunction occur.
Normal Physiology of Cardio-renal Axis
Maintain the hemodynamic balance in the body by heart via systemic circulation and kidney through extracellular fluid volume. The normal cardio-renal axis maintaining the both hemodynamic stability and end-organ perfusion via the following mechanisms by a controlling cardiac output (CO), volume status, and vascular tone in the body. At the times of increased or decreased perfusion pressure, maintenance of GFR is controlled by the RAAS, SNS, local vasodilators such as nitric oxide (NO), adenosine and prostaglandins. If decreased glomerular perfusion resulting from hypovolemia or reduced CO is sense the macula densa and juxtaglomerular apparatus, lead to the stimulation of RAAS, NO, adenosine, and prostaglandin production and prevent major changes in renal function. When renal perfusion pressure decreases, angiotensin II (AII) acts to increases efferent arteriolar resistance so it leads to preserving the intra-glomerular hydrostatic pressure and maintaining eGFR.
8
Classification / Definition /Types of CRS
The term ‘cardio-renal syndrome (CRS)’ used to define the different clinical conditions wherein heart dysfunction and kidney dysfunction overlap. Consensus
Conference conducted by the Acute Dialysis Quality Group7 in 2008 proposed an effective classification of CRS was proposed at (Table 1). CRS is mainly divided into 2 main groups, ‘Cardio Renal’ or ‘Reno Cardiac’ depending on which primary organ (cardiac or renal) is involved. These are again subdivided into the acute or chronic conditions, depend upon the onset of disease and progression.
Type 5 CRS reflects the simultaneous cardio-renal involvement due to acute or chronic systemic disease.

TABLE I: Classification of CRS
Type 1 Acute Cardio-renal Sudden deterioration of syndrome the cardiac function that leads to a acute kidney injury (AKI)
Type 2 Chronic Cardio-renal Chronic cardiac disorder syndrome leading to the development of progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) Type 3 Acute Reno-cardiac Abrupt & primarily syndrome worsening the kidney function that initiates the acute cardiac dysfunction Type 4 Chronic Reno-cardiac CKD lead to the syndrome reduction of cardiac function Type 5 Secondary Systemic disorders Cardio-renal either acute or chronic syndrome like Diabetes, Hypertension, sepsis, vasculitis that impair the both cardiac &renal function.

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF DIFFERENT CARDIO-RENAL SYNDROMES
Type 1 CRS: Acute Cardio-renal Syndrome
Sudden worsening of the cardiac function, leading to an acute kidney injury
(AKI) implies cardiorenal syndrome 1. Acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) are the common clinical presentation. A risk of acute CRS is very high in the setting of cardiogenic shock and prevent significant deterioration of renal function by early treatment strategy. Acute kidney
Injury is divided into early and late. Early means within 48 hrs and late means within 3-7 days.
Based on congestion is present or not (wet or dry) /perfusion is adequate or limited (warm or cold), ADHF have any four possible hemodynamic profiles. The four clinically determined profiles have shown to be determine the clinical outcomes and may be used for guide the initial heart failure therapy.
Pathogenesis of acute CRS:
1. Renal hypoperfusion occur due to an altered hemodynamis (hypotension) There
are
i. “Cold” pattern -because of reduced effective circulatory fluid volume
(ECFV) (The ‘low flow state’ hypothesis).
ii. “Wet” pattern- systemic or venous congestion is due to a significant increase
in central venous pressure, it also increases the renal venous pressure lead to
the decreasing gradients across the glomerular capillary network resulting in
12
reduced GFR. It is also increased by an increased intra-abdominal pressure.
So net renal perfusion pressure finally compromised.
2. Neuro-hormonal Mechanisms:
i. Decreased renal blood flow related to RAAS activation.
ii. Sympathetic activation leads to vasoconstriction. iii. Oxidative Stress lead to the significant increase in circulating reactive
oxygen species (ROS) with increased regulation of pro-inflammatory
mediators.
3. Vasoconstriction and reduction in renal blood flow is due to local release of
adenosine – Recently identified mechanisms.
It is essential to differentiate the acute CRS from renal injury due to hypovolemia.
Stable HF patients usually have hypervolemia mildly at baseline sometimes heart failure become hypovolemic due to overaggressive diuretic therapy, severe acute gastroenteritis, or other causes. Although, fluid status of the patients with these two entity is diametrically opposite, it is very difficult to distinguish between this two.
In both clinical conditions, urine electrolytes suggest a pre-renal AKI. History is very important - recent losses of fluids or overuse of diuretic may help to identify the hypovolemia. Analysis of the recent trend in weight is vital in making the right diagnosis. Misdiagnosis of acute CRS as hypovolemia-induced AKI is very dangerous. If volume depletion is erroneously Judged to be the cause of AKI, fluid administration can lead to further worsening of both cardiac and renal function.
Lack of renal recovery may lead to the invite further fluid administration and this can lead to perpetuate the vicious circle that is already in play. 13
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF TYPE 1 CRS
14
TYPE 2 CRS: CHRONIC CARDIO-RENAL SYNDROME
Type 2 cardiorenal syndrome is characterized by a chronic abnormalities of
cardiac function – e.g. congestive heart failure (CHF) can leading to an AKI or
progressive renal dysfunction and CKD. In patients with CHF, 45-63% CKD
observed. There is multiple factor responsible for renal dysfunction in chronic
cardiac condition. Progressive renal hypoperfusion occur due to:
1. Neuro –hormonal activation
2. Hypertension and volume overload due to augmented Na+ reabsorption
3. Progressive atherosclerotic vascular disease
4. Recurrent oxidative stress
15
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF TYPE 2 CRS
16
TYPE 3 CRS: ACUTE RENO -CARDIAC SYNDROME
In acute reno-cardiac syndrome, acute worsening of kidney function is the primary event, it leads to cardiac dysfunction like Acute coronary syndrome, arrhythmias, Acute decompensated heart failure. In this, most common acute cardiac dysfunction syndrome is Acute decompensated heart failure and is defined by a new onset/rapid worsening of previous HF.
Following Factors responsible for the worsening of normal cardiac function or pre-existing underlying cardiac dysfunction in AKI individuals. They are
Secretion of neurohormones
AKI related volume overload
Metabolic acidosis
Electrolyte disorders particularly hypo / hyperkalemia
Hyperactivity of SNS
Medications (NSAID, glitazones).

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF TYPE 3 CRS
18
TYPE 4 CRS: CHRONIC RENAL- CARDIAC SYNDROME
In chronic reno-cardiac syndrome, any stage of CKD lead to a cardiovascular dysfunction. CKD is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease
(CVD). Primary CKD lead to a reduction in cardiac function from cardiac remodelling, LV diastolic dysfunction, hypertrophy, and also responsible for an increased risk for cardiovascular events, such as myocardial infarction, HF or stroke. Independent of age and conventional risk factors, CKD is an independent predictor of CVD.10
According to the K/DOQI CKD classification, cardiovascular risk is evident in patients with stages IIIb-IV renal disease and this risk is also seen in patients who underwent renal replacement therapy (RRT) .12 In chronic renal insufficiency cohort (CRIC) study investigators focused on 190 patients presenting with advanced CKD (eGFR<20ml/min/1.73m2) to end –stage renal disease (ESRD)
(receiving PD/HD), and performed serial echocardiographic examinations. In the evaluation period in which patients shifted from advanced CKD to ESRD, the EF decreased from 52.5 to 49.7%. Number of subjects with EF <50 % gradually increase from 29 % in advanced CKD to 48% in ESRD.11,12
In the HEMO study, 1846 chronic hemodialysis patients in that 61.5 % cardiac death is due to an ischemic heart disease .13In a systemic review of 13 studies reported that most of the mortality is due to a cardiovascular death (58 %).14
Accelerated CVD in CKD is because of
19
Chronic inflammation
Insulin resistance
Malnutrition
Dyslipidemia
Chronic heart failure/LVH
Increased fibroblast growth factor 23 levels

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF TYPE 4 CRS
21
CORONARY ATHEROSCLEROTIC VASCULAR DISEASE
A study done to determine the relationship between CKD and severe coronary artery disease in 261 male veterans, results found that an increasing coronary vascular events with decreasing GFR. Patients with CKD significantly have a CAD involving atleast a one coronary artery vessel. Based on serum creatinine, CKD was defined as a eGFR< 60ml/min/1.73 sq.m prior to angiography. CAD was defined as a stenosis of 70% or more on coronary angiography procedure.
TYPE 5 CRS:
It is due to an acute or chronic systemic illness that simultaneously induces cardiac and kidney injury and/or dysfunction. In this subtype Systemic illness is the primary etiology. Some common conditions that lead to combined cardiorenal dysfunction include sepsis, viral infections (HBV, HCV, HIV), amyloidosis,
Systemic lupus erythematous, diabetes mellitus and drugs (cocaine, heroin, chemotherapeutic drugs)
22
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF TYPE 5 CRS
Numerous drugs act on the heart and kidneys and may cause simultaneous damage. such as
Metformin
Radiocontrast agents
ACE INHIBITORS/ARB
Aldosterone receptor blocker/AVP receptor blockers
Diuretics, NSAIDs 23
BIOMARKERS
Depends on the clinical situation, identification of cardiorenal / renocardiac syndrome made. But, the diagnosis is usually confirmed by a various biomarker.

DIURETICS
The main aim of therapy in acute CRS is to achieve aggressive diuresis,
typically by using the intravenous diuretics. Most potent class of diuretics are Loop
diuretics and this drug is a first line drugs for this purpose. Other classes of
diuretics as monotherapy are not effective and not recommended but can be
combined with loop diuretics. Correction of volume overload is difficult in the
presence of impaired renal function. Improving the cardiac dysfunction, could
improve the patient outcomes but improving renal function alone is not help to
improve patient outcome. The Following steps in escalation of diuretic therapy in
CRS.
27
Diagnosis of CRS
Intravenous loop diuretics
Output still inadequate
Increased dosage based on GFR till maximum dose
Output still inadequate
Consider continuous infusion Output still inadequate
Add a thiazide diuretic Output still inadequate
Consider acetazolamide or spironolactone
Output still inadequate
Consider ionotropes
Output still inadequate
Consider ultrafiltration
28
In presence of renal insufficiency, the dose of diuretics should be carefully regulated. In contrast, other classes of drugs, the dose of some of the diuretics increased as the eGFR falls.

For optimize drug delivery another strategyis continuous infusion of loop diuretics. When Compared with bolus therapy, continuous infusion gives a sustained and uniform drug delivery and preventing post-diuretic sodium retention.
The diuretic optimization strategies evaluation (DOSE) trial done in 308 pts admitted with ADHF for compared the efficacy and safety of continuous vs bolus furosemide therapy .15Results found that no difference in symptom control as well as net fluid loss at 72 hrs between the groups. Other studies showed that more diuresis with continuous infusion than with a same dose bolus regimen. However, for routine use of continuous loop diuretic therapy, there is lacking of clinical evidence to support
Loop diuretic plus a thiazide is the most popular combination, although no large scale placebo controlled trials have been performed. Because of low cost and
30
availability Metolazone is used. Metolazone also shown to block sodium reabsorption at the proximal convoluted tubule, which may contribute to its synergistic effects. Chlorothiazide is available in an intravenous formulation. It has a faster onset of action than metolazone.
But, studies have failed to identify any benefit of one over the other. Lower chance of developing metabolic alkalosis is achieved by the combination of loop diuretic with acetazolamide, metabolic alkalosis is a potential side effects of loop diuretics and thiazides. A recent study found that an adding acetazolamide to bumetanide led to significantly increased natriuresis but there is limited data.
ULTRAFILTRATION
In recent years, in CRS subtype 2 ultrafiltration has been increasingly used.
Three randomized trials Ultrafiltration versus Intravenous diuretics for patients hospitalized for ADHF (UNLOAD),Relief for acutely fluid overloaded patients with decompensated congestive heart failure (RAPIDCHF),Cardiorenal rescue study in ADHF (CARESS –HF) have compared diuretic therapy in patients with
ADHF.21-22UF was associated with greater fluid loss than diuretic therapy but no difference in serum creatinine In UNLOAD and RAPIDCHF trial, while in
CARESS-HF weight loss was similar, but there is an increase in serum creatinine and greater adverse effects. Additional trials is going on to see the benefits of UF.
The 2013 ACCF/AHA guidelines for the management of HF stated that “For patients with refractory congestion not responding to medical therapy ultrafiltration may be considered. For the symptomatic management of refractory dyspnea in end
31
stage HF, Peritoneal dialysis is tried with lack of data from large randomized controlled trials.
DIALYSIS:
In case of more advanced AKI, the kidney disease: improving global outcomes
(KDIGO) clinical practice guidelines state that dialysis, not UF alone, should be initiated to treat or prevent life threating signs such as uremic symptoms. Selection of the RRT modality primarily depends on local expertise and availability of staff and equipment for a specific treatment as well as the patients hemodynamic status.
Intermittent and continuous RRT should be implemented as a complementary therapy in patients with AKI or decompensated CKD.
INOTROPES:
For maintain organ perfusion, Inotropes such as dobutamine and milrinone are used in cardiogenic shock patients. Inotropes effects such as increase cardiac output, improve renal blood flow, improve right ventricular output so it lead to a relieve the systemic congestion.
The Renal Optimization Strategies Evaluation (ROSE) trial done in 360 patients with acute HF and renal dysfunction. No significant effect on 72 hours cumulative urine output or renal function as measured by cystatinc levels, when adding dopamine in a low dose (2mcg/kg/min) to diuretic therapy.26
32
LEVOSIMENDAN:
It is a calcium sensitizer. It possess a both positive inotropic and vasodilator effects. Some clinical trials and their meta analyses reported the clinical efficacy of livosimendan including improved cardiac performance, rapid symptom relief, reduced hospital stays and better survival in patients with ADHF. Other than cardiac effects, it also increases renal blood flow and GFR. Its adverse effects like hypotension, arrhythmias. It may increase mortality in patients with low systemic
BP.
VASODILATORS:
Although the clinical evidence supporting their use is weak, Vasodilators such as nitroglycerin, sodium nitroprusside and hydralazine are used in patients with acute HF very commonly. Physiologically, arterial dilatation reduces afterload there by help in relieving pulmonary congestion. Reduces the preload venodilatation by increases capacitance. In theory, improving renal perfusion by venodilators such as nitroglycerin can relieve renal venous congestion in patients with acute CRS. But, the use of vasodilators is limited because of hypotension.
CARDIAC RESYNCHRONISATION:
In a study by Van bommel et al,33 patients with HF who eGFR< 60 ml/min/1.73 sq.m demonstrated the decreased response to CRT, defined by a decrease in left ventricular end systolic volume >15% at 6 month follow up, when compared to the normal renal function individual. Worsening of renal function also
33
associated with a poor long term prognosis after CRT. Despite this, a systematic review by Garg et al demonstrated a CRT in patients with CKD shows
Improvement in left ventricular ejection as well as eGFR.
BETA BLOCKERS:
While in acute heart failure, beta blockers are avoided but used in management of chronic heart failure. In a systematic review by Badve et al in a patient with heart failure and CKD, beta blockers use reduced the all risk of CVS mortality. However, increase in bradycardia and hypotension like adverse effects occur. Caution to be exercised in their use in ADHF because they further reduce forward flow and exacerbate renal dysfunction.
ANGIOTENSIN RECEPTOR ANTAGONISTS:
By causing vasodilatation and increased renal perfusion, ARB increase GFR
However, PROTECT trial36 found that no difference in CVS outcomes compared to placebo in a treatment of the AHF with renal dysfunction.
VASOPRESSIN RECEPTOR ANTAGONISTS:
Tolvaptan, is a selective vasopressin 2 receptor anatagonist whose effect on
CVS actions was described in the efficacy of vasopressin antagonism in heart failure outcome study with tolvaptan-outcomes trial. 37 The study showed no effect on long term mortality or heart failure related morbidity. However, there was an increase in urine output, resulting in improvement as it increased free water clearance.
34
RAAS ANTAGONISM:
It is an integral part of therapy for acute / chronic heart failure and renal failure. Subgroup analysis of clinical trials of RAAS antagonism in HF have demonstrated that the beneficial effects on morbidity are not reduced by concurrent
CKD. The risk of hyperkalemia and worsening renal function is higher in patients with CKD and therefore requires regular monitoring.
Similarly, aldosterone antagonism showed a benefit in CVS outcomes despite a fall in GFR with the same problem of hyperkalemia.
ACE inhibition and ARB are known to worsen renal function, which prompts reluctance to prescribe and early stopping therapy when serum creatinine increases slightly. RAAS blockade should not be discontinued as such patients had decreased mortality despite a decline in GFR. Renal impairment should not be a contraindication to RAAS blockade and treatment should not be withheld. Instead, it should be continued with frequent monitoring and a multidisciplinary management including nephrology specialists.
NESIRITIDE:
It is a r-BNP approved for the management of ADHF. The recommended administration is 2 mcgs per kg bolus injection followed by continuous infusion at a dose of 0.010mcgs/kg/min. although, nesiritide produces modest improvement in dyspnea, a meta-analysis suggested that it may worsen renal function and hasten death, potentially due to its hypotensive effects. Meanwhile, small studies using
35
low dose nesiritide (0.005 mcgs/kg/min without bolus) in ADHF and cardiac surgery patients have shown increased urine output and preserved renal function.
ARNI:
Neprilysin is an enzyme that contributes to the breakdown of several endogenous vasoactive peptides (natriuretic peptides, bradykinin and adrenomedullin) which counteracts neurohormonal activation leading to vasoconstriction, sodium retention and maladaptive remodeling. Inhibition of neprilysin is a potential therapeutic strategy to delay the development or progression of CVS disease. However, a study of combined inhibition of ACE and
Neprilysin failed due to a high incidence of CVS angioedema. To minimize the risk of this adverse effects a new drug (LCZ696), combining Neprilysin inhibitor prodrug(sacubitril) with an ARB (valsartan) has been developed.
MANAGEMENT OF ANEMIA:
Anemia is highly prevalent in CKD or patients with HF. This results in increased risk of progressive heart failure, CVS events and death. Hence treatment of anemia could impact outcome in patients with HF and CKD.
Anemia management in heart failure is primarily done with intravenous iron treatment, after appropriate investigations. There are studies demonstrating beneficial effects of ferric carboxymaltose on quality of life and functional capacity in patients with HF.
36
Similarly, treatment of anemia in CKD patients using ESAs after correction of iron deficiency also improves cardiac outcomes.
LVAD:
It is an implantable mechanical circulatory support device that has revolutionized the treatment of end stage heart failure. Apart from being used to support patients awaiting heart transplant, there are now offered to patients ineligible for heart transplant as well as destination therapy which can be viewed as an alternative to heart transplant. Renal dysfunction prior to LVAD implantation predicts higher mortality after implantation.
Hence, it is important that patient receives timely referral for LVAD before heart failure worsens and leading to CKD. Renal function usually improves after
LVAD implantation if decreased GFR is due to renal hypoperfusion and most of the recovery tends to occur in the first month after LVAD placement and the improvement is mediated through the reversal of renal hypoperfusion and favourable intrarenal hemodynamics.
MANAGEMENT OF TYPE 3 CRS:
Nephrotoxic medications should be ideally completely avoided and if not possible their dosage should be modified. Renal hypoperfusion should be prevented. Fluid intake should be strictly monitored. Management should depend of
RIFLE criteria. Electrolytes and acid base homeostasis should be maintained.
Patient may require frusemide infusion for adequate output. Patients may need
37
renal replacement therapy. Other methods of dialysis like CRRT or SLED or
CVVH may be considered.
MANAGEMENT OF TYPE 4 CRS:
Strategies to reduce CVS risk in CKD patients have to target both traditional and non-traditional risk factors.
The important traditional risk factors are
Diabetes
Hypertension
Dyslipidemia
Smoking/ overweight/obesity
The non traditional risk factors include:
Anemia
Chronic inflammation
Secondary hyperthyroidism
Left ventricular hypertrophy
Oxidative stress
RAAS and SNS hyperactivity
Complications of RRT.
38
Specific treatment is difficult to achieve especially in hemodialysis patients in which clear association between mortality and blood pressure, BMI,
Dyslipidemia and hyperphosphatemia has been demonstrated. There is a clearly established role of secondary anemia correction. However, there are some controversies regarding the benefit of correction of other risk factors. For those hemodialysis patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism, cinacalcet therapy did not significantly reduce the risk of death or major cardiovascular events as per the
EVOLVE study. The SHARP study in CKD patients, demonstrated significant reduction in cardiovascular events, (MI, stroke, or need for coronary artery revascularization), with the use of a combination of ezetimibe plus simvastatin.
Pre dialysis patients should be closely recommended to maintain blood pressure levels below 130/80 mm hg, HbA1c below 7 %, Hb b/n 11 and 12 gm%, C-LDL below 90 mg/dl. Patients should also avoid nephrotoxic drugs and follow a diet with a minimum of 0.6 – 0.8 gm/kg body weight of protein per day.
Management of Type 5 CRS
The management of type 5 CRS will depend on the systemic cause e.g. sepsis, Vasculitis, etc. Which has led to CRS.
39
SUMMARY
Association between renal and cardiac dysfunction has now been studied to some extent and classified. Various pathophysiological mechanisms including hemodynamic and non hemodynamic factors come into play. Awareness about
CRS is important to plan the therapy and maximize the favourable outcome. As per the available data on incidence and prevalence, there is a great increase in CRS also due to an increase in acute & chronic CVD leading to AKI or CKD. Patients with various degrees of cardiovascular involvement due to various pathophysiologic factors.
Heart-Kidney cross talk results in coexistence of various cardiac and renal disorders. Management of CRS is both an art and science, since a lot depends on the clinical assessments of patients along with the use of biomarkers.
In this review, a simplified view of the pathogenesis and therapeutic interventions for the physician while dealing with CRS is presented. Medical treatment options are focused on improving cardiac function, reducing volume overload, managing HF and AKI with CKD. Although management of CRS remains a challenge, increased awareness, early recognition and therapy help to avoid adverse outcomes and improve patient care.

DISCUSSION
Over the past decades with the increase in life span, Life style disorders such as Diabetes Mellitus, Hypertension, Cardiorenal syndrome Prevalence increases.
This life style disorders emerged as a significant problem among patients. West countries conducted a study to understand a relation between Heart and Kidneys. In
India study about cardiorenal syndrome is less. In India some study conducted about cardiorenal syndrome for prognosis purpose like CARDIORENAL
SYNDROME: CLINICAL OUTCOME STUDY, CARDIORENAL SYNDROME
TYPE 4: A STUDY OF CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE IN CKD.
Our study aimed at identify and classify cardiorenal syndrome in T2DM.
Overall prevalence is 32 % of cardiorenal syndrome in T2DM at tertiary care centre. In our study, 50 diabetic patients present with acute/chronic heart failure and another 50 diabetic patients present with chronic kidney disease. By past and clinical history Cardiorenal syndrome categories. Majority of the patients in T2DM had CRS 4 – 12%, followed by ten percent CRS – 2, seven percent CRS -5 and three percent CRS – 1.
There were no patients with type – 3 CRS in T2DM. More commonly occur in elderly people with male preponderance in this study. Long duration of diabetes is an important risk factor responsible for cardiorenal syndrome in Type 2 diabetes mellitus is identified in this study.
In CARDIORENAL SYNDROME: CLINICAL OUTCOME STUDY, CRS increases with co morbidities with Hypertension, Diabetes, coronary artery disease, 65
Chronic kidney disease, dyslipidemia. CRS more commonly occur in elderlies with a male preponderance. In this study CRS 1 is followed by CRS 4.our study shows increased prevalence of CRS 4 is followed by CRS 2 in Diabetic population.
Another study CARDIORENAL SYNDROME TYPE 2: A STRONG
PROGNOSTIC FACTOR OF SURVIVAL results is CRS more commonly in aged, diabetes, hypertension, clinically dyspnoeic at NYHA stage III or IV,lower EF patients.our study shows moderate/ severe LVSD and clinically @ NYHA III and
IV responsible for cardiorenal syndrome either 1,2 or 5 subtypes.
Cardiorenal syndrome 4 in Diabetics significantly prevalence high, most common cardiac abnormality in our study is diastolic dysfunction rather than systolic dysfunction. most of the diastolic dysfunction occur in early stages of
CKD.
But systolic dysfunction more common in End stage renal disease.
Diabetes and uncontrolled Hypertension were the major risk factors responsible CRS. It has been suggested an interplay of diabetes mellitus and /or hypertension mediated and cardiac failure associated kidney injury with a related and mutually perpetuating pathophysiology, this was demonstrated by the model of
Kishimto et al.
66
LIMITATIONS:
Other than diabetes, Hypertension / Dyslipidemia is also responsible for cardiorenal syndrome. hypertension and dyslipidemia not included in my study.
Prognosis and risk of admission in the hospital not assessed.
67
CONCLUSION:
Now a days cardio renal syndrome is recognised as an emerging entity in patients with diabetics having both cardiac and renal dysfunctions. Our study concluded that CRS in Diabetes more common in elderly individual with a male predominant. Long duration of Diabetes is important risk factor for Cardio renal syndrome is identified in our study. Prevalence of CRS 4 is higher followed by
CRS 2. Low EF is also an important risk factor for CRS. Diastolic dysfunction is more common in early stage of CKD. Systolic dysfunction occurs in late stage of
CKD.
So in diabetic patients with chronic heart failure, more attention was given to the Elderly with low ejection fraction individual. Routine Renal function test is important to detect early diagnosis of CKD and aggressive treatment of Heart failure needed. In CKD due to diabetic, early screening by Echo is important to detect cardiovascular disease.
