Abstract
Cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) is a condition characterized by the intricate two-way relationship between the heart and kidneys, which can lead to acute or chronic dysfunction in these organs. The interplay between cardiorenal connectors and both hemodynamic and non-hemodynamic factors is crucial to understanding this syndrome. The clinical importance of these interactions is evident in the changes observed in hemodynamic factors, neurohormonal markers, and inflammatory processes. Identifying and understanding biomarkers associated with CRS is valuable for early detection and enabling intervention before significant organ dysfunction occurs. This comprehensive review focuses on the clinical significance of biomarkers in the diagnosis, prognosis, and management of CRS. Finally, it highlights the necessity for further advancements in managing this condition.

Heart Failure and Cardiorenal Syndrome: A Narrative Review on Pathophysiology, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Regimens-From a Cardiologist's View. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11237041. [PMID: 36498617 PMCID: PMC9741317 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11237041] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2022] [Revised: 11/22/2022] [Accepted: 11/25/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
In cardiorenal syndrome (CRS), heart failure and renal failure are pathophysiologically closely intertwined by the reciprocal relationship between cardiac and renal injury. Type 1 CRS is most common and associated with acute heart failure. A preexistent chronic kidney disease (CKD) is common and contributes to acute kidney injury (AKI) in CRS type 1 patients (acute cardiorenal syndrome). The remaining CRS types are found in patients with chronic heart failure (type 2), acute and chronic kidney diseases (types 3 and 4), and systemic diseases that affect both the heart and the kidney (type 5). Establishing the diagnosis of CRS requires various tools based on the type of CRS, including non-invasive imaging modalities such as TTE, CT, and MRI, adjuvant volume measurement techniques, invasive hemodynamic monitoring, and biomarkers. Albuminuria and Cystatin C (CysC) are biomarkers of glomerular filtration and integrity in CRS and have a prognostic impact. Comprehensive "all-in-one" magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) approaches, including cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) combined with functional MRI of the kidneys and with brain MRI are proposed for CRS. Hospitalizations due to CRS and mortality are high. Timely diagnosis and initiation of effective adequate therapy, as well as multidisciplinary care, are pertinent for the improvement of quality of life and survival. In addition to the standard pharmacological heart failure medication, including SGLT2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), renal aspects must be strongly considered in the context of CRS, including control of the volume overload (diuretics) with special caution on diuretic resistance. Devices involved in the improvement of myocardial function (e.g., cardiac resynchronization treatment in left bundle branch block, mechanical circulatory support in advanced heart failure) have also shown beneficial effects on renal function.

Abstract
Heart failure is a major public health problem and, despite the constantly emerging, new, effective treatments, it remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Reliable tools for early diagnosis and risk stratification are crucial in the management of HF. This explains a growing interest in the development of new biomarkers related to various pathophysiological mechanisms of HF. In the course of this review, we focused on the markers of congestion and renal dysfunction in terms of their interference with cardiovascular homeostasis. Congestion is a hallmark feature of heart failure, contributing to symptoms, morbidity, and hospitalizations of patients with HF and has, therefore, become a therapeutic target in AHF. On the other hand, impaired renal function by altering the volume status contributes to the development and progression of HF and serves as a marker of an adverse clinical outcome. Early detection of congestion and an adequate assessment of renal status are essential for the prompt administration of patient-tailored therapy. This review provides an insight into recent advances in the field of HF biomarkers that could be potentially implemented in diagnosis and risk stratification of patients with HF.

Abstract
PURPOSE Kidney disease is a common finding in patients with heart failure and can significantly impact treatment decisions and outcomes. Abnormal kidney function is currently determined in clinical practice using filtration markers in the blood to estimate glomerular filtration rate, but the manifestations of kidney disease in the setting of heart failure are much more complex than this. In this manuscript, we review novel biomarkers that may provide a more well-rounded assessment of kidney disease in patients with heart failure. RECENT FINDINGS Galectin-3, ST2, FGF-23, suPAR, miRNA, GDF-15, and NAG may be prognostic of kidney disease progression. L-FABP and suPAR may help predict acute kidney injury (AKI). ST2 and NAG may be helpful in diuretic resistance. Several biomarkers may be useful in determining prognosis of long-term kidney disease progression, prediction of AKI, and development of diuretic resistance. Further research into the mechanisms of kidney disease in heart failure utilizing many of these biomarkers may lead to the identification of therapeutic targets.

Abstract
PURPOSE The molecules human interleukin (IL-18), the soluble cluster of differentiation (sCD40), platelet factor 4 variant 1 (PF4V1), and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) are all markers of inflammation in biological systems and are linked to prognosis in several inflammatory diseases as well. Since there is no study in which the above-mentioned molecules are studied together in ocular Behçet's disease (OBD), the aim of this study is to reveal whether these molecules are activity markers in active (OABD) and inactive (OIBD) disease. METHODS 30 OABD and 30 OIBD and 30 healthy individuals were included in the study. IL-18, sCD40, PF4V1, and NGAL molecules were studied in blood samples by the ELISA method. RESULTS When OABD and OIBD were compared to healthy individuals, the levels of IL-18, sCD40, PF4V1, and NGAL molecules were found to be statistically significant. These values were even more significantly higher in patients with OABD. CONCLUSION When ROC values of IL-18, sCD40, PF4V1, and NGAL are evaluated, it is clear that these four molecules can be used as biomarkers to aid activity and diagnosis in OBD.

Abstract
Despite the enhanced knowledge of the pathophysiology of heart failure (HF), it still remains a serious syndrome with substantial morbidity, mortality, and frequent hospitalizations. These are due to the current improvements in other cardiovascular diseases (like myocardial infarction), the aging population, and growing prevalence of comorbidities. Biomarker-guided management has brought a new dimension in prognostication, diagnosis, and therapy options. Following the recommendation of natriuretic peptides (B-type natriuretic peptide and N-terminal-proBNP), many other biomarkers have been thoroughly studied to reflect different pathophysiological processes (such as fibrosis, inflammation, myocardial injury, and remodeling) in HF and some of them (like cardiac troponins, soluble suppression of tumorigenesis-2, and galectin 3) have subsequently been recommended to aid in the diagnosis and prognostication in HF. Consequently, multi-marker approach has also been approved owing to the varied nature of HF syndrome. In this review, we discussed the guidelines available for HF biomarkers, procedures for evaluating novel markers, and the utilities of both emerging and established biomarkers for risk stratification, diagnosis, and management of HF in the clinics. We later looked at how the rapidly emerging field-OMICs, can help transform HF biomarkers discoveries and establishment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the diagnostic value of plasma growth and differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15) level, GDF-15 mRNA expression in circulating mononuclear cells (MNCs), and plasma pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) level for heart failure in patients with different underlying cardiac diseases, namely dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and coronary artery heart disease (CAD), and assess their value in predicting the severity of heart failure and long-term cardiovascular disease (CVD) events. METHODS Fasting venous blood samples were collected from 261 patients with DCM and 251 patients with CAD admitted in our hospital between January, 2018 and January, 2019, with 132 healthy individuals serving as the control group. The plasma level of GDF-15 was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and the expression of GDF-15 mRNA in the MNCs was measured by real-time PCR. We also analyzed the expression of GDF-15 in patients with different NYHA classes, and the ROC curve was used to evaluate the predictive power of GDF-15 mRNA for CVD events. RESULTS The plasma levels of GDF-15 and GDF-15 mRNA in the MNCs were significantly higher in patients with DCM and CAD than in the control group (P < 0.01). Plasma GDF-15 levels were significantly higher in NYHA class Ⅳ patients than in class Ⅱ and Ⅲ patients, and GDF-15 mRNA expressions in the MNCs were much higher in class Ⅲ and Ⅳ patients than class Ⅱ patients (P < 0.01). ROC curve analysis showed that for predicting CVD events, the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.73 (95% CI: 0.69-0.77, P < 0.001) for NT-proBNP alone, as compared with 0.83 (95% CI: 0.79-0.86, P < 0.001) for GDF-15 mRNA in the MNCs combined with NT-proBNP. CONCLUSIONS Plasma GDF-15 level and GDF-15 mRNA expression level in the MNSc can both be used as biomarkers for heart failure. Plasma level of GDF-15 is more sensitive for predicting NYHA class Ⅳ patients with heart failure, while GDF-15 mRNA level in the MNCs better predicts class Ⅱ patients. The combination of NT-proBNP with GDF-15 mRNAlevel in the MNCs can more accurately predict the risk of long-term CVD events.

Abstract
AIM The NGAL is a biomarker of renal injury associated with the progression of heart failure (HF). We examine the association of NGAL with galectin-3 in patients with chronic HF. METHODS We consecutively enrolled 115 subjects with stable ischemic HF of reduced ejection fraction. Serum levels of galectin-3, b-type natriuretic peptide and NGAL were measured. RESULTS NGAL levels were positively correlated with galectin-3 (rho = 0.26; p = 0.04) and b-type natriuretic peptide levels (rho = 0.30; p = 0.005) and inversely correlated with ejection fraction (rho = -0.31; p = 0.02) and creatinine clearance levels. The NGAL was independently associated with galectin-3 levels. CONCLUSION A positive correlation between NGAL and galectin-3 in HF patients was found, revealing a potential association between renal injury and myocardial fibrosis and remodeling in HF.

Abstract
Although the field of oncology has made significant steps toward individualized precision medicine, cardiology and nephrology still often use a "one size fits all" approach. This applies to the intersection of the heart-kidney interaction and the cardiorenal syndrome as well. Recent studies have shown that the prognostic implications of worsening renal function (WRF) in acute heart failure are variable; thus, there is a need to differentiate the implications of WRF to better guide precise care. This may best be performed with biomarkers that can give the clinician a real-time evaluation of the physiologic state at the time of developing WRF. This review will summarize current cardiac and renal biomarkers and their status in the evaluation of cardiorenal syndrome. Although we have made progress in our understanding of this syndrome, further investigation is needed to bring precision medicine into routine clinical practice for the care of patients with cardiorenal syndrome.
