INTERRELATIONS BETWEEN MICROALBUMINURIA AND RENAL FUNCTION WITH CONTRACTILE ABILITY OF LEFT VENTRICLE IN CARDIORENAL SYNDROME PATIENTS

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) increases the risk of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular disease as well as progression to end stage kidney failure. The relationship of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and albuminuria with clinical outcomes in the general population are revealed. This allows to present levels of GFR and microalbuminuria (MA), which increases the risk of mortality. Renal dysfunction, which revealed by the level of GFR and creatinine, can have definite role in hemodynamic changes and heart failure progression. For mentioning the interaction of cardiovascular and renal diseases the cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) term was introduced, with its classification on 5 types, according to the presence of acute/chronic heart failure and primary/secondary origination of heart and kidney injury. We study interrelations between echocardiographic data of left ventricular remodeling, MA level and degree of renal dysfunction in 115 patients with CRS. MA was measured with diagnostic strips, contractile function of left ventricle (LV) - by echocardiography and GFR was assessed by Cocroft-Gault method. The association between MA with decreased GFR and elevated creatinine levels and its connection with increased LV myocardial mass and preclinical disturbances of LV systolic function was revealed. We determined direct correlation between MA and myocardial mass index and indirect - between ejection fraction of LV and MA. Obtained data allow to mention the level of MA (25,4±5,8 ng/ml) in which there is more probability of LV contractile functional changes, which will allow early prediction and prevention of CRS progression and pathogenetically approved pharmacotherapy organization in this category patients.
