Article Synopsis
- Worsening renal function (WRF) is common in patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) and indicates a higher risk of negative outcomes, with a potential connection to abdominal congestion that needs further investigation.
- A study involving 100 ADHF patients assessed factors like intra-abdominal pressure and splenic Doppler indices to predict WRF, defining it as a rise in serum creatinine levels.
- Results showed that 37% of patients developed WRF, with significant predictors identified as high splenic resistivity index, elevated intra-abdominal pressure, and low left ventricular ejection fraction during hospitalization.
