Abstract
PEDROSA ALGARIN, Marina et al. Cardiorenal syndrome type 4 in a percutaneously revascularized patient. Rev. colom. nefrol. [online]. 2023, vol.10, n.3, 401. Epub June 01, 2023. ISSN 2500-5006. https://doi.org/10.22265/acnef.10.3.715.
Background:
Cardiorenal syndrome is a pathology caused by dysfunction in the interdependence of these organs due to bidirectional interactions (acute or chronic), which can affect either renal or ventricular function.
Purpose:
To present and justify chronic kidney disease as a trigger of congestive conditions due to de novo heart failure.
Case presentation:
We report the case of a 69-year-old male patient percutaneously revascularized 3 years ago with multiple comorbidities who was admitted in the context of de novo heart failure secondary to his stage V chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis, in whom acute coronary artery disease and infiltrative cardiomyopathy were ruled out. The renal and cardiac injury was stabilized and the patient was discharged and continued outpatient management of his pathologies with adequate control of the same with nephrology and cardiology.
Discussion and conclusion:
Cardiovascular disease generated by renal history has great repercussion in left ventricular function causing hypertrophy that leads to congestion with subsequent overload due to the fall of glomerular filtration resulting in a decrease of the ejection fraction.
Chronic kidney disease predisposes to alterations in cardiac function increasing cardiovascular risk.
