Any heart failure treatments associated with worsening renal function in patients admitted due to acute heart failure?

Background: Worsening renal function (WRF) occurs in approximately 25% of acute heart failure patients, and both baseline characteristics and heart failure treatment may increase the risk of WRF. This study aimed to evaluate additional risk factors for WRF in acute heart failure, particularly those related to heart failure treatment.

Methods: This was a retrospective, observational, analytical study.
