Cardiorenal Syndrome: Prevention and Management
Van N Selby, MDUCSF Advanced Heart Failure ProgramDecember 1, 2017
Disclosures: None
Objectives
§Define cardiorenal syndrome (CRS)§Understand the pathophysiology of CRS§Review current strategies for the prevention and treatment of CRS
Cardiorenal Syndrome
A pathophysiologic disorder of the heart and kidneys
whereby acute or chronic dysfunction in one organ may
induce acute or chronic dysfunction in the other organ

Heart-kidney Interactions
§A bidirectional relationship• The heart is directly dependent on regulation of salt and
water by the kidneys• The kidneys are dependent on blood flow and pressure
generated by the heart
§The effects can be both acute and chronic§Mortality is increased in HF patients with a reduced
glomerular filtration rate (GFR)§Acute or chronic systemic disorders can cause both
cardiac and renal dysfunction
Cardiorenal Syndrome Classification
§Type 1: Acute HF resulting in acute kidney injury
§Type 2: Chronic HF causing progressive kidney disease
§Type 3: Abrupt, primary worsening of kidney function causing acute cardiac dysfunction/HF
§Type 4: Primary CKD contributing to cardiac dysfunction (iecoronary disease, HF, arrhythmia)
§Type 5 (secondary): Systemic disorders that cause both cardiac and renal dysfunction
Ronco C et al. J Am Coll Cardiol. 2008; 52: 1527-1539.
Epidemiology of CRS§30-60% of HF patients have CKD (eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2)
§ADHERE: Only 9% of patients had normal GFR• 20-30% of patients had a rise in serum creatinine > 0.3 mg/dL
• Risk factors include DM, admission creatinine > 1.5 mg/dL, uncontrolled hypertension
§Renal dysfunction is associated with 2-fold increase in mortality§Type I CRS:
• The rise in serum creatinine usually occurs within 5 days of admission
• ADHF, post-MI, post-cardiac surgery
• Associated with increased LOS, readmissions, and post-discharge mortality
- Smith GL et al, JACC 2006- Heywood JT J Card Fail 2007
Diagnosis of CRS§Usually based on the serum creatinine
• Caution in older, sicker patients
• Most eGFR equations assume the serum creatinine concentration is stable
§ In those with HF and reduced GFR, one must distinguish underlying kidney disease from impaired function related to CRS• Proteinuria
• Active sediment
• Small kidneys on imaging
• None of these can rule out intrinsic kidney disease
§BUN/Cr often used for diagnosis, but should not be used to decide regarding diuretics
§Urine sodium concentration < 25 is more consistent with HF

the RIFLE criteria. It is only associated with substantially higher mor-tality rates in the absence of relief of congestion and improvement inHF status. Moresevere formsofAKI (stage2 or3) are rare in acute HFbut if these do occur, prognosis is poor and intensive care manage-ment, including renal replacement therapy is often required.
So, where do we go from here? Specifically, we caution the exten-sion of RIFLE/AKIN/KDIGO AKI definitions to include patientsexperiencing a rise in serum creatinine during successful treatment
of acute decompensated HF, at least in the absence of subjective evi-dence of significant renal injury or failure. In many ways, cardiologistsand nephrologists may be treating two distinct but interacting condi-tions that are simplistically defined by the same biomarker changes.We should also acknowledge that changes in creatinine that occurin HF often have a different cause than AKI described in nephrologyguidelines. Acute kidney injury in patients with renal disease isthe direct consequence of the disease, while in HF the cause of
Figure1 Factors involved in the cause and association with an outcome of changes in renal function in heart failure. (A) Organ-specific factors. Themain determinants of decreased glomerular filtration rate are adecrease in renal blood flowand an increase in central and renal venouspressure. Thelatter can be caused by intravascular congestion, but also by an increase in intra-abdominal pressure. Owing to increased renal venouspressure, renalinterstitial pressure rises, which results a ‘congested kidney’ since the kidney is encapsulated (B and C). Renal artery stenosis is present in !25% ofheart failure patients, which can further compromise renal blood flow, especially in the presence of renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system inhibi-tors. (B)Glomerular factors.Decreased renalbloodflowand lowbloodpressure trigger renal autoregulation, preserving glomerular filtration ratebyincreasing filtration fraction by increased efferent vasoconstriction. The use of renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system-inhibitors inhibits thisprocess,which increases renal blood flow, but leads (in some patients) to a reduction in glomerular filtration rate (pseudo-worsening renal function).Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs inhibit prostaglandin synthesis, thereby impairing prostaglandin associated increase/dependent renal bloodflow. Increased interstitial pressure causes increased pressure in Bowman’s capsule, which directly opposes filtration, in a glomerulus where thefiltration gradient is already low due to a decreased renal blood flow and increased renal venous pressure. Concomitant diseases have direct,but differential effect on glomerular filtration, glomerular integrity and podocyte function, as well as autoregulation. (C ) Nephronic factors. Differenttherapies have different renal effects and exert their action at specific sites as indicated in this diagram. Intravascular volume depletion (in the pres-ence or absence of congestion) can lead to impaired renal perfusion and decreased glomerular filtration rate. The combination of increased inter-stitial pressure, reduced arterial perfusion, concomitant disease and therapies can cause tubular and glomerular injury. Increased renal venouspressure causes increased renal interstitial pressure, resulting in collapsing of renal tubules, which decreases glomerular filtration rate, and eventuallyleads to decreased urine output, sodium retention, and congestion.

It is problematic, therefore, whether this dose-dependent increase in renal blood flow is exclusively dopaminergic in origin or is due to combined dopaminergic and adrenergic activation without direct mea- surement of cardiac output.”- 29-31

In Group A patients, the ratio increased from 17.9 at base- line to 24.5 (NS) after therapy; in Group B patients, the ratio decreased from 24.8 at baseline to 21.5 (NS) after therapy.
Adverse Effects
In Group B patients who received IV dopamine, blood pressure remained unchanged in eight patients and was only slightly elevated in two patients (< 10% of control); heart race declined modestly in seven patients (< 10 beats) and increased slightly in three patients (< 10% of control heart rate). Cardiac arrhythmias were not observed during drug infusion.
Discussion
Evidence from both human and experimental animal studies has demonstrated a direct renal vasodilatation in re- sponse to low-dose dopamine (0.5-3 pg/kg/min) that increas- es renal blood flow, glomerular filtration rate, and urinary output.20, 23-25 A renal vasodilatory response to low-dose dopamine, although to a lesser extent, is also observed in pa- tients with chronic renal impairment.26 The pharmacodynam- ic action of low-dose dopamine responsible for intrarenal va- sodilatation and enhanced renal perfusion is mediated predominantly through stimulation of peripheral dopaminer- gic receptors DA-I and DA-2. DA-I receptors are located postsynaptically on the smooth muscle of the renal vascula- ture. Activation of DA-2 receptors on presynaptic sympathet- ic nerve terminals, causing reduction of norepinephrine re- lease, may also play a role.20, 27, 28
At a low dose of 2.0 pg/kg/min or slightly above (up to 4.0 pg/kg/min), dopamine may also stimulate B1-adrenergic re- ceptors and augment renal perfusion by an increase in cardiac
benefit on renal function have used this agent to attain renal salvage in critically ill patients with either established acute renal failure or at high risk for developing acute renal fail- ure.l0* 14, 19,32 The role of low-dose dopamine in these situ- ations, however, is not clearly defined and mired in contro- versy. Multiple studies, both experimental and clinical, of the ischemic or toxic kidney have not demonstrated unequivocal- ly the efficacy of dopamine in preserving renal function or have spawned conflicting results.11. l3
In this study, we assessed the role of low-dose dopamine (2 pg/kg/min) as arenal-protective agent when used with vigor- ous IV diuretic therapy for CHF associated with renal insuffi- ciency (mild to moderate) and without oliguria. Ten patients (Group A) receiving an IV loop diuretic (bumetanide 1 mg bid.) were compared with 10 patients (Group B) randomized to low-dose dopamine infusion (2 pg/kg/min) and a similar diuretic regimen. Vigorous IV diuretic therapy over a period of nearly 5 days resulted in a significant increase in urinary output for both treatment groups (Fig. l), symptomatic relief, and clearance of clinical signs of pulmonary-systematic ede- ma. Group B patients who received low-dose dopamine dem- onstrated significant improvement of renal function. Serum BUN 48.9 f 10.3 declined to 32.1 f 14.4 mg/dl (p<O.O5), serum creatinine 1.97 & 0.24 fell to 1.49 j, 0.39 mg/dl (p < 0.05), and calculated creatinine clearance 35.6 k 11.6 increas- ed to 48.8 k 12.3 mumin (p < 0.05).

Conclusions
§Cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) is common among heart failure patients and is associated with worse prognosis
§CRS is multifactorial
• Volume, venous pressures, and intra-abdominal pressures• Cardiac output
• Intra-renal hemodynamics
• Treatment-related mismatch
Conclusions
§Treatment of CRS requires careful management of volume status
• Diuretics (can worsen neurohormonal activation)
• Consider tolvaptan, particularly in hyponatremic patients• Ultrafiltration for those with massive volume overload or
refractory to diuretics
• Aim for slow, sustained hemoconcentration to keep the plasma refill rate constant
