Síndrome cardiorrenal – relato de caso

Abstract

Cardiorenal Syndrome (CRS) consists of a complex pathophysiological interaction between the cardiovascular and renal systems, which may present in either an acute or chronic form. This condition may originate from primary dysfunction of one of the systems, from simultaneous impairment of both, or as a consequence of an independent systemic disease. CRS is characterized by the mutual impact between the heart and kidneys, in which the functional failure of one organ compromises the function of the other, worsening the patient’s clinical condition. Diagnosis is based on anamnesis, physical examination, and complementary tests, including echocardiography, electrocardiography, laboratory assessments such as cardiac and renal biomarkers, and abdominal ultrasonography. Treatment is challenging and must be individualized. This report highlights the importance of early detection of alterations 17 caused by the syndrome, the adoption of individualized therapeutic strategies, and the continuous monitoring of patients affected by this condition.
