Cardiorenal Syndrome (CRS) Types

 • Type 1 - Acute CRS: Alteration of renal perfusion is the main trigger (in particular when congestive heart failure is present)

 • Type 2 - Chronic CRS: Renal fibrosis is particularly important in type 2. Also to be considered drug induced renal toxicity and VAD induced renal effects

 • Type 3 - Acute RCS: Salt and water, neuro-hormonal and uremia induced dysregulations are the most important aspects

 • Type 4 - Chronic RCS: Hypertension, CKD induced myopathy, chronic hemodialysis and fluids shifts may be in cause

 • Type 5 - Secondary CRS: Common pathogenetic patterns (i.e. auto-immunity, micro-circulatory dysfunction, cytokine release)
