Is kidney injury associated with higher 30-day mortality in patients with heart failure-related cardiogenic shock?
Kidney injury serves as a significant prognostic marker for 30-day mortality in patients with heart failure-related cardiogenic shock.
In HF-CS, kidney injury is associated with higher 30-day mortality, potentially mediated by bleeding and sepsis. These findings support the consideration of kidney function as a prognostic marker and call for the development and evaluation of kidney-restoring adjunct interventions in HF-CS.
