Key result
Type II dominates cardiorenal syndrome cases at ~33% and is significantly associated with chronic kidney disease.
Why the study?
Heart and renal disease often co-exist, and half of patients with chronic heart failure develop cardiorenal syndrome, which has a poor prognosis.
Cross-Sectional (n=100)
No
In a single-center Egyptian cohort, CRS type II was the most prevalent subtype, and chronic kidney disease was a significant risk factor for CRS.
CRS type II predominance with CKD link in this cohort should not change practice; leaves open need for prospective validation.
Background: Heart and renal disease are common, increasingly encountered and often co-exist. Half of patients with chronic heart failure develop cardiorenal syndrome (CRS), which have a poor prognosis. Objectives: to identify the prevalence of different types & risk factors associated with cardiorenal syndrome in patients presented in Aswan university hospitals. Methods: We included CRS patients with age ≥20 years old, not pregnant or lactating. We performed echocardiography and pelvic abdominal ultrasound to the included participants. Results: We included 100 participants, with average age 58.73 ± 14.81, half of them were male. The most common chronic diseases were hypertension (74.0%), and diabetes mellitus (63.0%). The prevalence of CRS type I, II, III, IV and V was 10%, 33.0%, 25.0%, 19.0%, and 13.0%, respectively. There was statistically significant relation between type of CRS and CKD (P= 0.011*).Conclusion: CRS type II had the highest prevalence of the CRS subtypes. Moreover, CKD and was a risk factor for CRS.

Tantawiey et al. (2022) conducted a cross-sectional in Cardiorenal syndrome (n=100). Cardiorenal syndrome subtypes and risk factors was evaluated on Prevalence of cardiorenal syndrome subtypes. Among patients with cardiorenal syndrome, Type II was the most prevalent subtype (33.0%), and there was a significant association between CRS subtypes and chronic kidney disease (p=0.011).
