Renal function during hospitalization and outcome in Chinese patients with acute decompensated heart failure: A retrospective study and literature review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The heart and kidneys had demonstrated a bidirectional interaction that dysfunction of the heart or kidneys can induce dysfunction in the other organ.

Hypothesis

Renal function and its decline during hospitalization may have impact on cardiovascular outcomes in patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF).

Methods

A total of 119 consecutive Chinese patients admitted for ADHF were prospectively enrolled. The course of renal function was presented with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), calculated by the four-variable equation proposed by the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) Study. Worsening renal function (WRF) was defined as eGFR decline between admission (eGFR_admission ) and predischarge (eGFR_predischarge
