Inflammation and Cardio – Renal Syndrome
Heart Failure
Production of Pro
inflammatory cytokines
• Neurohormonal activation
• Venous Congestion
Decrease cardiac
function
Vascular Dysfunction
Renal fibrosis
Progressive renal
dysfunction
Increase vascular
Permeability
Promote absorption of
pro inflammatory
endotoxin from bowel
Cardio Renal
Syndrome
Neurohormonal activation in HF
RAAS
Angiotensin II  TNF 𝛼 biosynthesis in
myocardium and renal tissue  activated NF
kappa B  IL6, MCP 1 and other
inflammatory cytokine in kidney
SNS
Increase HR  Increase TNF 𝛼,
IL-6 and IL 1𝛽 in myocardium
cells and cardiac blood vessel
Venous Congestion
Mesenteric venous
congestion  bowel wall
edema and increased
vascular permeability
Gram negative bacterial
translocation through the
endothelial cells of
intestinal villi and
endotoxin release (LPS)
LPS  promotes
secretion of
inflammatory cytokines
(TNF-α, IL-1 family, IL-6,
IL-8, IL-10 family, IL-12
family, IL-15 & TGF-β
Intravascular Volume
Expansion  Vascular
inflammation and
endothelial cell
activation (NO and
prostacyclin)
Peripheral congestion 
release inflammatory
marker (IL-6 and
endothelin 1)
RV dysfunction and
dilatation ventricular
interdependence  LV
remodeling  reduce
CO and renal arterial
pressure

Prognostic value for
adverse events in
AHF
Renal Ultrasonography
● Renal vein flow pattern using doppler ultrasound  depend on RAP and strongly correlated with clinical
outcomes
● Continuous renal flow pattern = normal rap, discontinuous renal flow pattern = increased RAP and
monophasic pattern = highest RAP and poor outcomes (<40% survival at 1 year).
● Renal flow pattern > renal resistive index (RI) to have incremental prognostic value that reflect renal
venous congestion
● Limitation : require expertise to perform, and needs validation for consistency of Doppler waveform
sampling by operators and in a diverse group of patients
Intra-abdominal Pressure
● Splanchnic congestion due to RHF
● Measuring IAP could be using intra-bladder
pressure using intra bladder catheter connected to
transducer
● Increased IAP  elevated pressure greater than
normal range (5 – 7 mmHg)
Medical Treatment Options for RHF and CRS
DECONGESTION
Reduce
Systemic
Congestion
Return

Diuretic,
UF and
Dialysis
Diuretic
Resistance
LOOP DIURETIC
Loop of
Henle, Short
Peak of
action
Natriuresis,
reduce
volume
overload
Protein
bound anion
Furosemide,
Torsemide,
Bumetanide
Loop Diuretic
● Higher dose is needed to achieve same
therapeutic effect  higher dose is associated
with greater diuresis, weight loss and transient
WRF
● DOSE-AHF trial  continuous vs bolus strategy
of diuretic administration  no difference in
symptom relief and in change of renal function,
neither in mortality
● Continuous administration associated with more
hyponatremia, need for vasopressors,
rehospitalization and death at 6 months
● Transition to oral therapy depend on medication
half life (4-6 hr for furosemide and bumetanide,
8-12h for torsemide)
Progressive impedance of venous return
from kidney in venous congestion, effective
decongestion may improve renal perfusion
and increase diuresis and natriuresis
Excessive diuresis without
adequate right heart reserve can
reduce preload and impair CO 
Relative iv hypovolemia and
decrease diuresis and natriuresis
Diuretic Resistance
● Diuretic resistance  diminished or
loss of diuretic response before
reach the therapeutic goal of relief
from edema.
● Measuring diuretic efficacy or
resistance  weight loss, net fluid
loss, urine output after 40mg iv
furosemide and natriuresis
● No cut off or standard definition of
diuretic resistance
● Braking phenomena  diminished
diuretic induced natriuresis 
contributors to diuretic resistance
○ Hemodynamic braking
○ Neurohormonal braking
● Nephron Remodeling  determine
diuretic efficacy
● Add non loop diuretic overcome
braking phenomenon and nephron
remodeling augment natriuresis
Vasoactive and inotropic drugs
used in RHF, clinical trial evidence has
been lacking, most literature based upon
cardio-centric optimization in advance
HF patients
Selective pulmonary vasodilator
successfully used for acute RHF
where PH is a major contributor,
evidence in CRS is still lacking
Other medical therapies
SUMMARY
Clinical assessment of extra-cellular
fluid status remains important to keep
the balance between hypervolemia
and dehydration.
Decongestion is still the
mainstay strategy in HF with
CRS and is clinically
challenging. Prevention should
be the most important goal.
The heart and kidney
have complex
bidirectional interlinks
termed CRS
Correlation of venous congestion
and renal dysfunction in HF
which represents the significant
influence from the right heart.
THANKS!
Always listen to your heart!
It may on your left,
but it mostly always
RIGHT!

Editor's Notes

  1. Production of pro inflammatory cytokines as a consequence of HF could be from : Neurohormonal activation Venous congestion  local congestion (splanchnic congestion and intra renal venous congestion) or systemic venous congestion Cytokines  Tumor necrotic factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-1 (IL-1) have direct biological effects to structural and functional damage to various end organs (heart, vasculature and kidney)  correlate with poor clinical outcomes Inflammation  depressed cardiac function, vascular dysfunction, renal fibrosis and pr ogressive renal dysfunction Inflammation  increase vascular permeability and promote absorption of pro inflammatory endotoxins from the bowel
  2. Increased activity of RAAS and SNS in HF  chronic inflammation Angiotensin II (AII) increases TNF 𝛼 biosynthesis in myocardium that mediated through angiotensin 1 receptor. Also in animal  AII increases renal tissue expression of TNF 𝛼 (at glomeruli, mainly at endothelium of tubules and vasculature), activated NF kappa B and induced renal synthesis of IL6, MCP 1 coexisting with glomerular and interstitial inflammatory cells in kidney SNS  isoproterenol infusion increase expression of TNF 𝛼, IL-6 and IL-1𝛽 in myocardium cells and cardiac blood vessels and beta blocker administration decreases these effects
  3. Venous and tissue congestion promotes inflammatory response by various mechanism Mesenteric venous congestion  bowel wall edema and increased vascular permeability gram negative bacterial translocation through the endothelial cells of intestinal villi and endotoxin release Endotoxin : LPS  promotes secretion of inflammatory cytokines  LPS and cytokines levels increased in edematous chronic HF  reduction after acute diuretic treatment Higher endotoxin levels In hepatic vein compared to LV in acute HF suggest bacterial or endotoxin translocation from bowel to blood stream Intravascular volume expansion  vascular inflammation and endothelial cell activation through cytokine secretion itself and alter other bioactive molecules such as NO and prostacyclin function In human study, peripheral congestion created through applied pressure using tourniquet on the arms  release inflammatory markers, IL-6 and endothelin 1 Systemic inflammation in HF  contribute to CRS development also leads to end organ damage RHF  increased RV filling pressure  RV dysfunction and dilatation  ventricular interdependence  leftward shift of interventricular septum and alter LV geometry Reducing LV distensibility, preload and reducing CO  reducing renal arterial pressure  CRS Most often in isolated RHF in advanced Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
  4. Venous and tissue congestion promotes inflammatory response by various mechanism Mesenteric venous congestion  bowel wall edema and increased vascular permeability gram negative bacterial translocation through the endothelial cells of intestinal villi and endotoxin release Endotoxin : LPS  promotes secretion of inflammatory cytokines  LPS and cytokines levels increased in edematous chronic HF  reduction after acute diuretic treatment Higher endotoxin levels In hepatic vein compared to LV in acute HF suggest bacterial or endotoxin translocation from bowel to blood stream Intravascular volume expansion  vascular inflammation and endothelial cell activation through cytokine secretion itself and alter other bioactive molecules such as NO and prostacyclin function In human study, peripheral congestion created through applied pressure using tourniquet on the arms  release inflammatory markers, IL-6 and endothelin 1 Systemic inflammation in HF  contribute to CRS development also leads to end organ damage RHF  increased RV filling pressure  RV dysfunction and dilatation  ventricular interdependence  leftward shift of interventricular septum and alter LV geometry Reducing LV distensibility, preload and reducing CO  reducing renal arterial pressure  CRS Most often in isolated RHF in advanced Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
  5. Provide a wide spectrum of prevention, early diagnosis, treatment and outcomes of organ injury (including heart and kidney) BNP  Marker of myocardial stretch has diagnostic and prognostic roles in HF and CRS  higher BNP in HF with impaired renal function compared with normal renal function  impaired renal excretion, volume overload and cardiomyopathy associated with renal dysfunction Cardiac Troponin and glactin 3  cardiac biomarker  elevated in CRS  higher level, higher mortality rate in HF Neutrophil Gelatinase associated Lipocalin (NGAL)  large lysosomal enzyme originating in proximal tubular cell detection urine NGAL = proximal tubular injury, elevated serum NGAL = HF with renal dysfunction, elevated serum and urine NGAL = predictor for dialysis and death in AKI patients. Serial measurement of NGAL in AHF patients is an accurate predictor of Worsening Renal Function Cystatin C (CysC)  renal biomarker that secreted by renal tubules  better than creatinine for measuring GFR CysC + NT pro BNP and Cardiac Troponin additive prognostic value for adverse events in AHF Albuminuria in HF without concomitant comorbidity  has diagnostic power for CRS than using GFR, also associated with increased mortality and admission for HF
  6. Renal vein flow pattern using doppler ultrasound  depend on RAP and strongly correlated with clinical outcomes  continuous renal flow pattern = normal rap, discontinuous renal flow pattern = increased RAP and monophasic pattern = highest RAP and poor outcomes (<40% survival at 1 year). Renal flow pattern > renal resistive index (RI) to have incremental prognostic value that reflect renal venous congestion Limitation : require expertise to perform, and needs validation for consistency of Doppler waveform sampling by operators and in a diverse group of patients

Cornerstone  Decongestion  reduce systemic venous congestion, return balance in hemodynamic, neurohormonal and biological activation Decongestion  diuretics, ultrafiltration and dialysis Most challenging of decongestion in CRS  diuretic resistance Loop Diuretic  inhibit Na+K+2Cl- co transporter at thick ascending limb of loop of henle with short peak of action (1—30 min for iv and 1-1.5 hours for oral administration) Loop Diuretic  cause natriuresis, net negative water and salt balance, and reduced volume overload Most used diuretic Furosemide, Torsemide, Bumetanide Loop diuretic  protein bound anion  hypoalbuminemia decreased its transportation to site of action; NSAID drug, bile acid and uremic toxin reduced its efficacy
  8. Dose response to diuretic curve in HF shifts downward and to the right  higher dose is needed to achieve same therapeutic effect  higher dose is associated with greater diuresis, weight loss and transient WRF DOSE-AHF trial  continuous vs bolus strategy of diuretic administration  no difference in symptom relief and in change of renal function, neither in mortality Continuous administration associated with more hyponatremia, need for vasopressors, rehospitalization and death at 6 months Transition to oral therapy depend on medication half life (4-6 hr for furosemide and bumetanide, 8-12h for torsemide) A stepwise pharmacologic strategy has been proposed and studied in post hoc analysis of 3 randomized controlled trials in acute HF with CRS, including DOSE-AHF(153), the Cardiorenal Rescue Study in Acute Decompensated Heart Failure (CARRESS-HF)(156) and Renal Optimization Strategies Evaluation in AHF (ROSE-AHF) trial(157). These studies showed superiority to standard decongestive therapy (including non-adjusted diuretic dose) without WRF and superiority to ultrafiltration in preservation of renal function at 96 hours
  9. Diuretic efficacy in HF has been shown as a strong predictor for mortality and morbidity including all-cause death, HF readmission and renal related readmission after correction with baseline eGFR Braking phenomena  diminished diuretic induced natriuresis  contributors to diuretic resistance Hemodynamic braking  diuretic reduces extracellular fluid  SNS and RASS activation  increases sodium reabsorption at proximal tubules Neurohormonal braking  diuretic increases urine sodium and activates TGFeedback renin production  afferent arteriolar vasoconstriction  reduces sodium filtration Nephron remodeling (distal tubular hypertrophy and hyperplasia) as a consequence of prolonged use of loop diuretic is also considered a determinant of diuretic efficacy Hence, addition of non-loop diuretics (i.e. thiazide or potassium sparing diuretic), which is termed “segmental nephron blockage,” may be reasonable and also might overcome the braking phenomenon and nephron remodeling thereby augmenting natriuresis(171) without compromising GFR
  10. selective pulmonary vasodilators have been used with success (e.g., inhaled nitric oxide, prostacyclin and iloprost), although there is limited data to support the role of phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors for this indication.
