Figure 1 CRS Type 1

Pathophysiological interactions between heart and kidney in type 1 cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) or "acute CRS" (abrupt worsening of cardiac function, e.g., acute cardiogenic shock or acute decompensation of chronic heart failure) leading to kidney injury. ACE = angiotensin-converting enzyme; ANP = atrial natriuretic peptide; BNP = B-type natriuretic peptide; CO = cardiac output; GFR = glomerular filtration rate; KIM = kidney injury molecule; N-GAL = neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin; RAA = renin angiotensin aldosterone. Figure illustration by Rob Flewell.

Figure 2 CRS Type 2

Pathophysiological interactions between heart and kidney in type 2 cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) or "chronic CRS" (chronic abnormalities in cardiac function, e.g., chronic heart failure) causing progressive chronic kidney disease (CKD). Figure illustration by Rob Flewell. LVH = left ventricular hypertrophy; RAA = renin angiotensin aldosterone.

Figure 3 CRS Type 3

Pathophysiological interactions between heart and kidney in type 3 CRS or "acute renocardiac syndrome" (abrupt worsening of renal function, e.g., acute kidney failure or glomerulonephritis) causing acute cardiac disorder (e.g., heart failure, arrhythmia, pulmonary edema). MPO = myeloperoxidase; other abbreviations as in Figure 1. Figure illustration by Rob Flewell.

Figure 4 CRS Type 4

Pathophysiological interactions between heart and kidney in type 4 cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) or "chronic renocardiac syndrome" (chronic kidney disease [CKD], e.g., chronic glomerular disease, contributing to decreased cardiac function, cardiac hypertrophy, or increased risk of adverse cardiovascular events). BMI = body mass index; EPO = erythropoietin; LDL = low-density lipoprotein. Figure illustration by Rob Flewell.

Figure 5 CRS Type 5

Pathophysiological interactions between heart and kidney in type 5 cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) or "secondary CRS" (systemic condition, e.g., diabetes mellitus, sepsis, causing both cardiac and renal dysfunction). LPS = lipopolysaccharide (endotoxin); RVR = renal vascular resistance. Figure illustration by Rob Flewell.
