Key result
This review outlines the complex interactions of the cardiorenal axis and emphasizes the necessity for collaborative management of cardiorenal syndrome by cardiologists and nephrologists in Italy.
Why the study?
Heart and renal failure involve complex interactions within the cardiorenal axis, requiring cardiologists and nephrologists to collaborate for improved patient management.
This review highlights the evolving understanding of cardiorenal syndrome and advocates for multidisciplinary collaboration between cardiologists and nephrologists.
May support cardiologist-nephrologist collaboration in cardiorenal syndrome; leaves open prospective evaluation of implementation and outcomes.
The interactions and feedback mechanisms involved in heart and renal failure are more complex than previously thought and are grouped under the term "cardio-renal axis". In the last decades, it has always been emphasized that renal dysfunction in patients with heart failure can be attributed exclusively to low renal plasma flow resulting from reduced cardiac output. In the last two decades cardiorenal syndrome has been established to set complex and close interactions between heart and kidney. Cardiologists and nephrologist should interact in their daily clinical practice to provide better patients' management. In this review, we will point out main features of cardiorenal axis and cardiorenal syndrome to shift into specific sets of management in Italy starting by Guyton's hypothesis till present days.
