ABSTRACT

Backround: Patients of cardiorenal syndrome type 1 had comparatively higher mortality and morbidity among different types of CRS. Aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of type 1 CRS among heart failure patients. Material and Methods: Total 92 patients of acute heart failure were included in the study. The clinical and laboratory profile and course in hospital were documented. Results: Cardiorenal Syndrome Type 1 was present in 16.3% patients. In our study, out of 15 CRS1 patients, 9(60%) were females and 6(40%) were males. Whereas other studies showed predominantly male sex involvement in CRS1. Highest number of patients 23 each (25.00%) were in two age group of 51-60 and 61-70 years. At presentation the main underlying predisposing factors for acute heart failure in patients were DCMP in 4.34%. Conclusion: The patients of Type 1 Cardio renal syndrome are seen predominantly in females and elderly populations. Most of the patients have stage 1 AKI and therefore recovered completely.
