Improvement in Renal Function During the Treatment of Acute Decompensated Heart Failure: Relationship With Markers of Renal Tubular Injury and Prognostic Importance

Circ Heart FailPublished Secondary analysis of the ROSE-AHF randomised trial

Authors' conclusion

IRF during decongestive therapy for acute decompensated heart failure was not associated with improved markers of renal tubular injury and was associated with worsened survival, likely driven by the presence of greater underlying cardiorenal dysfunction and more severe congestion.

Study context
