Classification | Abbreviation | Characteristic |
---|---|---|
Acute cardiorenal syndrome | CRS type 1 | Abrupt worsening of cardiac function leading to acute kidney injury; for example, acute coronary syndrome causing acute heart failure and then renal dysfunction |
Chronic cardiorenal syndrome | CRS type 2 | Chronic abnormalities in cardiac function causing progressive chronic kidney disease; for example, congestive cardiac failure |
Acute renocardiac syndrome | CRS type 3 | Sudden worsening of renal function causing acute cardiac dysfunction; for example, uremic cardiomyopathy secondary to acute renal failure |
Chronic renocardiac syndrome | CRS type 4 | Condition of primary chronic kidney disease leading to an impairment of the cardiac function and/or increased risk of adverse cardiovascular events; for example, left ventricular hypertrophy and diastolic heart failure secondary to renal failure |
Secondary cardiorenal syndrome | CRS type 5 | Systemic disorders causing both cardiac and renal dysfunction; for example, septic shock, vasculitis |
