Abstract

Purpose of Review

This review discusses evidence that has accumulated over the years on the diagnostic and prognostic utility of biomarkers of kidney injury in the setting of acute decompensated heart failure.

Recent Findings

Despite numerous studies evaluating several different biomarkers both in the serum and urine, the current body of evidence does not support routine use of any of these biomarkers for the purposes of diagnosis of acute kidney injury or for prognosis after hospitalization for acute decompensated heart failure. All studies are observational in nature and, as such, are likely limited by numerous confounders, the most important of which is modification of decongestive therapy in response to worsening renal function. More recent evidence suggests that worsening renal function or kidney injury does not always portend poor outcomes after hospitalization for heart failure.

Summary

There is currently no conclusive evidence to recommend the routine use of biomarkers of kidney injury in acute decompensated heart failure.

Live: Thursday 27th June 2024, 18:00-19:30 (CEST)

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
