Zusammenfassung:Objectives Renal venous congestion due to backward heart failure leads to disturbance of renal function in acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). Whether decongestion strategies have an impact on renal venous congestion is unknown. Objective was to evaluate changes in intrarenal hemodynamics using intrarenal Doppler ultrasonography (IRD) in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and ADHF undergoing recompensation. Methods Prospective observational study in patients with left ventricular ejection fraction (LV-EF) ≤ 35% hospitalized due to ADHF. IRD measurement was performed within the first 48 h of hospitalisation and before discharge. Decongestion strategies were based on clinical judgement according to heart failure guidelines. IRD was used to assess intrarenal venous flow (IRVF) pattern, venous impedance index (VII) and resistance index (RI). Laboratory analyses included plasma creatinine, eGFR and albuminuria. Results A number of 35 patients with ADHF and LV-EF ≤ 35% were included into the study. IRD could be performed in 30 patients at inclusion and discharge. At discharge, there was a significant reduction of VII from a median of 1.0 (0.86–1.0) to 0.59 (0.26–1.0) (p
