Analysis of the clinical features and risk factors of kidney injury in patients with chronic heart failure-a retrospective cohort study

CONCLUSIONS: Kidney injury occurred in more than half of the patients with CHF during hospitalization. The independent risk factors for kidney injury in the CHF patients included sex (male), hypertension, and stroke. Kidney injury was positively correlated with age and serum potassium, and negatively correlated with serum albumin, hemoglobin concentration, LVEF, and ARB application.PMID:37559657 | PMC:PMC10407521 | DOI:10.21037/jtd-23-1016
