Systematic Review of the Association Between Worsening Renal Function and Mortality in Patients With Acute Decompensated Heart Failure

摘要

Outcomes in acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) have remained poor. Worsening renal function (WRF) is common among patients with ADHF. However, the impact of WRF on the prognosis is controversial. We hypothesized that in patients with ADHF, the achievement of concomitant decongestion would diminish the signal for harm associated with WRF.
