Type 1 CRS (acute cardio- renal syndrome) is characterized by acute worsening of cardiac function leading to AKI (5, 6) in the setting of active cardiac disease such as ADHF, while type – 2 CRS occurs in a setting of chronic heart disease.
Type 3 CRS is closely link to acute kidney injury (AKI), while type 4 represent cardiovascular involvement in chronic kidney disese (CKD) patients.
Type 5 CRS represent cardiac and renal involvement in several diseases such as sepsis, hepato – renal syndrome and immune – mediated diseases.
