Кардиоренальные взаимоотношения: эволюция взглядов

This review considers the definition of the term «cardiorenal relationships)) in patients with cardiovascular disease, including heart failure. Interest in this scientific problem is caused by the uncertainty of such frequent term in publications as «kidney damage», when it is not clear, whether it means independent (primary) kidney disease or secondary damage in chain of the cardiovascular continuum. As a response to this question there was formulated understanding of the term «cardiorenal syndrome». In the development of this problen, the Russian society of cardiology has made an attempt to unite all possible pathological conditions of kidneys which can occur in cardiac patients, in a certain classification scheme, which makes it necessary to develop common approaches to the management of patients with cardiovascular and kidney disease.
