...; Lei Fu; Zhuo Li; Renwei Huang; Zhiming Ye; Chaosheng He; Wei Shi; Xinling Liang; Guibao Ke; Shuangxin Liu Background: Heart failure (HF) is one of the main comorbidities in patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis (HD). Sacubitril/valsartan (SAC/VAL) is widely used in HF patients with reduced...

...Paolo Ria; Gianluca Borio; Carlo Rugiu; Isabella Corino; Luisa Zanolla; Marcello Napoli; Antonio De Pascalis Background: Congestive heart failure (CHF) associated with worsening renal function is a very common disorder, and, as well known, the goal of the treatment is reducing venous congestion...

...), and the association of E1W/E0 with technique survival, peritonitis-free survival, and heart failure (HF)-related hospitalization-free survival was analyzed. Results: This retrospective cohort study included 116 patients (89 male patients) who underwent PD catheter insertion between January 2008 and June 2018 (61.3...

...Amir Kazory; Claudio Ronco Several studies have recently challenged the sodium-centric view that has been dominating the field of heart failure (HF) and cardiorenal syndrome. The previously observed benefits of severe dietary restriction of salt do not seem to be consistently reproduced...

...Mayanka Kamboj; Amir Kazory Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are increasingly used for the management of patients with advanced heart failure (AHF) due to their established salutary impact on hemodynamic status and survival benefit. Impairment in kidney function is common in the setting...

...Amir Kazory; Claudio Ronco A significant subset of patients with heart failure (HF) experience small to moderate rise in serum creatinine (RSC) in the setting of otherwise beneficial therapies such as aggressive diuresis or renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) inhibition. Accumulating data...

... are the pathophysiological pathways by which acute heart failure may result in acute kidney injury (AKI; type 1), chronic heart failure accelerating the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD; type 2), AKI provoking cardiac events (type 3), and CKD increasing the risk and severity of cardiovascular disease (type 4...

...Abhilash Koratala; Amir Kazory The negative prognostic impact of congestion and worsening renal function in patients with decompensated heart failure (HF) has been widely recognized. As diuretics are thought to provide suboptimal results and are associated with a number of adverse effects, a number...

...Amir Kazory Enhanced removal of sodium has often been cited as an advantage of ultrafiltration (UF) therapy over diuretic-based medical treatment in the management of acute decompensated heart failure. However, so far clinical studies have rarely evaluated the precise magnitude of sodium removal...

...Julien Demiselle; Virginie Besson; Johnny Sayegh; Jean-François Subra; Jean-François Augusto Background: Total artificial heart (TAH) device is sometimes necessary to treat end stage heart failure (HF). After surgery, renal impairment can occur with the need of renal replacement therapy. Method: We...

...Edward A. Ross; Amir Kazory Background: Heart failure (HF) has a high readmission rate in part due to conventional and recently developed therapeutic options having suboptimal results. Extracorporeal and peritoneal ultrafiltration have been advocated as more beneficial methods for fluid removal...

Minimally invasive hemodynamic monitoring was performed via the radial artery using a pressure recording analytical method (PRAM) during SCUF treatment. Patients and Methods: Using PRAM, hemodynamic changes...

... in maintaining arterial pressure, they are associated with renal vasoconstriction, as well as sodium and water retention. In advanced circumstances, renal dysfunction and hyponatremia occur with cardiac failure. Even a modest rise in serum creatinine related to diminished renal function in heart failure patients...

...D.S. Silverberg; D. Wexler; B. Blum; A. Iaina Anemia is seen in chronic kidney insufficiency (CKI), dialysis patients, congestive heart failure (CHF), and renal transplantation. Anemia can lead to progressive cardiac damage as well as progressive renal damage. It is not generally appreciated...
