Sub-Types and Therapeutic Management of the Cardiorenal Syndrome
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) describes the inter-relationship and complex pathophysiological processes by which dysfunction of either the heart or the kidneys is related to dysfunction in the other organ system. Historical definitions may have been overly simplistic; newer definitions have tried to capture the complex interactions and feedback processes which exist between the two organs. These definitions classify the CRS into five discrete categories, based on both the organ system in which the primary dysfunction occurs and the time course of disease development/progression.

Nitric oxide mediated the effects of nebivolol in cardiorenal syndrome
Objective(s): Despite several proposed mechanisms for the pathophysiology of cardiorenal syndrome (CRS), the exact mechanism remains unclear. Nitrosative stress has been argued as a key mechanism recently. Nebivolol is a beta-blocker with nitric oxide (NO)-releasing effect. In the present study, NO-mediated effects of two different treatment regimes of nebivolol in CRS...
متن کاملTherapeutic Options for the Management of the Cardiorenal Syndrome
Patients with heart failure often present with impaired renal function, which is a predictor of poor outcome. The cardiorenal syndrome is the worsening of renal function, which is accelerated by worsening of heart failure or acute decompensated heart failure. Although it is a frequent clinical entity due to the improved survival of heart failure patients, still its pathophysiology is not well u...

The prevalence of obesity has increased rapidly in the United States. Obesity affects about one third of the adult population and, even though it is attributed to excess calorie intake and inadequate physical activity, its etiopathogenesis is much more complex and is an area of active study. Lifestyle modifications (with a focus on increased activity and decreased calorie intake) have modest ef...

Background: It is well established that a large number of hospitalized patients present various degrees of heart and kidney dysfunction; primary disease of the heart or kidney often involves dysfunction or injury to the other. Summary: Based on above-cited organ cross-talk, the term cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) was proposed. Although CRS was usually referred to as abruption of kidney function fol...
