Introduction: Serum creatinine (sCr) is routinely used to calculate estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in heart failure (HF) pts. However, changes in muscle mass may limit the accuracy of sCr as marker of renal function in this population. Cystatin C (CysC) is independent of muscle mass and provides an alternative measure of eGFR. In prior studies, higher sCr/CysC ratio has been associated with higher muscle mass. Herein, we compared CysC- and sCr-based eGFR at serial time points among pts admitted with HF. We hypothesized that muscle mass would decline during HF admission and this would result in a decrease of sCr/CysC ratio. Methods: We pooled pts from 3 trials performed in pts admitted with HF (DOSE, ROSE and CARRESS-HF). eGFR was calculated using CKD-EPI-CysC equation (eGFRCysC) and sCr-based MDRD equation (eGFRsCr). The relative difference between eGFRCysC and eGFRsCr (ΔeGFR) was calculated as follows: (eGFRCysC-eGFRsCr)/ eGFRsCr. To control for confounders, we analyzed changes in sCr/CysC ratio and in ΔeGFR among pts with samples available at both admission and a subsequent time point. Results: A total of 2849 samples were available in 841 pts (age 68 ± 13, 26% female, left ventricular ejection fraction 36 ± 17%). Compared with eGFRsCr, eGFRCysC reclassified 50% of the samples to different GFR categories, mainly to more advanced renal dysfunction (Fig. A). eGFRCysC was significantly lower than eGFRsCr at all time points (Fig. B). From time of admission to all subsequent time points, sCr/CysC ratio declined while ΔeGFR widened (all p-values<0.001). At time of enrollment in CARRESS-HF, each additional day of HF admission was associated with a decline in sCr/CysC ratio of 1.5% (p=0.04). Conclusions: The use of CysC reclassifies a large proportion of pts admitted with HF to more advanced renal dysfunction when compared to sCr-based assessment. The discrepancy between CysC- and sCr-based eGFR appears to widen during HF admission, likely due to muscle mass wasting.

Background: Renalase has been implicated in chronic heart failure (CHF); however, nothing is known about renalase discriminatory ability and prognostic evaluation. The aims of the study were to assess whether plasma renalase may be validated as a predictor of ischemia in CHF patients stratified to the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and to determine its discriminatory ability coupled with biomarkers representing a range of heart failure (HF) pathophysiology: brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), soluble suppressor of tumorigenicity (sST2), galectin-3, growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15), syndecan-1, and cystatin C.Methods: A total of 77 CHF patients were stratified according to the LVEF and were subjected to exercise stress testing. Receiver operating characteristic curves were constructed, and the areas under curves (AUC) were determined, whereas the calibration was evaluated using the Hosmer-Lemeshow statistic. A DeLong test was performed to compare the AUCs of biomarkers.Results: Independent predictors for ischemia in the total HF cohort were increased plasma concentrations: BNP (p = 0.008), renalase (p = 0.012), sST2 (p = 0.020), galectin-3 (p = 0.018), GDF-15 (p = 0.034), and syndecan-1 (p = 0.024), whereas after adjustments, only BNP (p = 0.010) demonstrated predictive power. In patients with LVEF &lt;45% (HFrEF), independent predictors of ischemia were BNP (p = 0.001), renalase (p &lt; 0.001), sST2 (p = 0.004), galectin-3 (p = 0.003), GDF-15 (p = 0.001), and syndecan-1 (p &lt; 0.001). The AUC of BNP (0.837) was statistically higher compared to those of sST2 (DeLong test: p = 0.042), syndecan-1 (DeLong: p = 0.022), and cystatin C (DeLong: p = 0.022). The AUCs of renalase (0.753), galectin-3 (0.726), and GDF-15 (0.735) were similar and were non-inferior compared to BNP, regarding ischemia prediction. In HFrEF patients, the AUC of BNP (0.980) was statistically higher compared to those of renalase (DeLong: p &lt; 0.001), sST2 (DeLong: p &lt; 0.004), galectin-3 (DeLong: p &lt; 0.001), GDF-15 (DeLong: p = 0.001), syndecan-1 (DeLong: p = 0.009), and cystatin C (DeLong: p = 0.001). The AUC of renalase (0.814) was statistically higher compared to those of galectin-3 (DeLong: p = 0.014) and GDF-15 (DeLong: p = 0.046) and similar to that of sST2. No significant results were obtained in the patients with LVEF &gt;45%.Conclusion: Plasma renalase concentration provided significant discrimination for the prediction of ischemia in patients with CHF and appeared to have similar discriminatory potential to that of BNP. Although further confirmatory studies are warranted, renalase seems to be a relevant biomarker for ischemia prediction, implying its potential contribution to ischemia-risk stratification.

Worsening renal function in patient with congestive heart failure affect the length of hospital stay. The purpose of thisstudy was to describe the creatinine serum levels and the length of hospital stay in patient with congestive heartfailure treated in Arifin Achmad hospital Riau Province January 2012 – December 2014. This study was done withcross sectional approach. This study found the most common creatinine serum levels found were <1.5 mg/dl (73.2%)with an average of 1.30 mg/dl and the range was 0.10 – 6.63 mg/dl. The value of left ventricular ejection fraction withan average of 44.9% and the range was 12% - 79%. Length of hospital stay in patients were >5 days commonly withan average of 7.29 days and the range was 1 – 29 days. The result of this study showed that the possibility ofcreatinine serum levels is not the only one predictor to determine the length of hospital stay in patient with congestiveheart failure.

Heart failure (HF) and renal dysfunction are frequent associated in the same patient. The purpose of our study was to assess the prevalence of renal dysfunction and the clinical status in admitted patients for decompensated HF. Material and Methods. 397 patients succesively hospitalized for decompensated HF, NYHA III or IV functional class, with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) � 45% were included in the study. Renal dysfunction was defined by glomerular filtration rate (GFR) [ 60 mL/min/1.73 m 2. The mean GFR in patients with HF was 63.89 � 21.5 mL/min/1.73 m2 .The prevalence of renal dysfunction was 49.6%. Patients with GFR [ 60 mL/min/1.73m2, compared with those with preserved renal function were significantly more frequent older (75.37 � 6.84 vs. 71.33 � 8.08 years; p [0.001), females (53,8% vs. 43.5%; p = 0.04), had a significantly higher prevalence of diabetes mellitus (50.2% vs. 28.5%; p [0.001), atrial fibrillation (53.8% vs 46.2%, p = 0.04) and anemia (47.7% vs. 29.5% ; p [0.001). Also, patients with renal dysfunction had more severe HF than those without renal dysfunction (NYHA class IV: 65% vs 45%, p [0.001, clinical congestion: 78.2% vs 68%, p = 0.02, LVEF [35%: 47.21% vs � 35%, p [0.001). Renal dysfunction can be considered an additional marker of severe cardiac dysfunction along with NYHA IV class and low LVEF. The presence of both renal dysfunction and anemia could represent prognostic markers in HF patients with reduced LVEF.

Acute heart failure is defined as the rapid development or change of symptoms and signs of heart failure that requires urgent medical attention and usually hospitalization. Acute heart failure is the first reason for hospital admission in individuals aged 65 or more and accounts for nearly 70% of the total health care expenditure for heart failure. It is characterized by an adverse prognosis, with an in-hospital mortality rate of 4-7%, a 2-3-month post-discharge mortality of 7-11%, and a 2-3-month readmission rate of 25-30%. The majority of patients have a previous history of heart failure and present with normal or increased blood pressure, while about half of them have a preserved left ventricular ejection fraction. A high prevalence of cardiovascular or non-cardiovascular comordid conditions is further observed, including coronary artery disease, arterial hypertension, atrial fibrillation, diabetes mellitus, renal dysfunction, chronic lung disease, and anaemia. Different classification systems have been proposed for acute heart failure, reflecting the clinical heterogeneity of the syndrome; the categorization to acutely decompensated chronic heart failure vs de novo acute heart failure and to hypertensive, normotensive, and hypotensive acute heart failure are among the most widely used and clinically relevant classifications. The pathophysiology of acute heart failure involves several pathogenetic mechanisms, including volume overload, pressure overload, myocardial loss, and restrictive filling, while several cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular causes or precipitating factors lead to acute heart failure through a single of these mechanisms or a combination of them. Regardless of the underlying mechanism, peripheral and/or pulmonary congestion is the hallmark of acute heart failure, resulting from fluid retention and/or fluid redistribution. Myocardial injury and renal dysfunction are also involved in the precipitation and progression of the syndrome.
