Definition of Cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) Structural and functional abnormality The disorders of the heart and kidneys whereby acute or chronic dysfunction in one organ may induce acute or chronic dysfunction of the other The 7th ADQI consensus conference. Nephrol Dial Transpl. 2010;25:1416e1420.

Risk factors of CRS type 1 Older age Comorbid conditions (DM, uncontrolled HT, anemia) Drugs: NSIAD, Diuretic, ACEi, ARB, Aldosterone receptor antagonists Baseline renal dysfunction History of Heart failure / Impaired LVEF Prior myocardial infarction NYHA functional class High dose of diuretic Clin J Am Soc Nephrol. 2013;8(10):1800-7.
Treatment Relieve congestion and improve symptoms while restoring renal and systemic perfusion Diuretics vs. Ultrafiltration Inotropic drugs and vasodilators
Diuretics Continuous infusion Greater urine output Less ototoxicity (tinnitus and hearing loss) Similar frequency of electrolyte disturbances Cochrane Database Syst Rev. 2005;(3) Blood Purif 2017;43:1 10. Higher dose associated with mortality Marker of disease severity Cause of adverse outcome
Diuretics RCT, 308 patients with ADHF Hx of chronic HF, on furosemide 80-240 mg/d Furosemide, intravenous DOSE Bolus every 12 hours vs. Continuous infusion Low dose (1x of the previous oral dose) vs. High dose (2.5x of the previous oral dose) N Engl J Med 2011;364:797-805.

Death, re-hospitalization, emergency visit A high-dose strategy - A trend toward improved symptom relief - Increased worsening kidney failure events either bolus or continuous infusion
Adv Chronic Kidney Dis. 2017;24(4):261-266 Blood Purif 2017;43:1 10. Ultrafiltration
Diuretics vs. Ultrafiltration 200 patients with HF Ultrafiltration vs. intravenous diuretics Ultrafiltration Peripheral Fluid remove rate: up to 500 ml/h UNLOAD J Am Coll Cardiol 2007;49:675 83
At 90 days, the ultrafiltration group Fewer patients rehospitalized for HF Fewer rehospitalization days per patient Fewer unscheduled visits Diuretics limitation: dose of diuretic and clinical response J Am Coll Cardiol 2007;49:675 83
Diuretics vs. Ultrafiltration CARRESS 188 patients with ADHF and worsened renal function (increase serum Cr >0.3 mg/dl) Ultrafiltration vs. pharmacologic therapy with diuretics Ultrafiltration: fluid-removal rate of 200 ml per hour Intravenous diuretics: keep urine output 3 to 5 liters per day N Engl J Med 2012;367:2296-304. Mean Cr 1.9-2 mg/dl
At 96 Hr A stepped pharmacologic-therapy algorithm was superior to a strategy of ultrafiltration - for the preservation of renal function at 96 hours, with a similar amount of weight loss with the two approaches Limitation: Fixed rate UF N Engl J Med 2012;367:2296-304.
Diuretics vs. Ultrafiltration What time point should UF be considered? Early or after inefficacy of diuretics (diuretic resistance) What is the optimal rate of fluid removal?
