Abstract

We performed literature search in the Pubmed database in July 2013. The key word used for search was cardiorenal syndrome type 2, limited to English language and humans. Over the last decade, a significant advance in the understanding of the cardiorenal syndrome has been achieved. However, precise pathogenesis remains to be clarified. Current treatment in postponing progression of cardiorenal syndrome type 2 is not efficient, although novel drugs like levosimendan and tezosentan seem promising. Future research is necessary to determine their role in the treatment of cardiorenal syndrome type 2.

Keywords

cardiorenal syndrome type 2; chronic renal failure; chronic heart failure
