CHAVEZ-LOPEZ, Ernesto Lenin; ALEMAN-ORTIZ, Omar Felipe; NANDO-VILLICANA, Claudia Carolina e ROSAS-MUNIVE, Emma. Cardiorenal syndrome: New perspectives. Rev. Mex. Cardiol [online]. 2015, vol.26, n.1, pp.39-52. ISSN 0188-2198.
There is a high prevalence of heart failure associated to kidney failure or viceversa. This association has been defined as a clinical entity: cardiorenal syndrome and one of its main characteristics is the resistance to treatment. Multiple hypotheses have been proposed to explain the pathophysiology of this syndrome, such as hemodynamic deregulation and recently, other neurohormonal and immunological mechanisms involved in the development and perpetuation of this pathology. Classifications have been based on the form of presentation or physiopathological manifestations. Different therapeutic approaches have been proposed to control or limit the progress of this disease. This review discusses and analyzes the current information on pathophysiology, different classifications and treatment.
