title: [Kidney diseases in cardiology].
abstract: A close relationship between renal dysfunction and heart failure has been demonstrated with a huge impact on the patients outcomes. To describe the relationship, the term cardio-renal syndrome (CRS) has been increasingly used in recent years. Medical management of patients with CRS remains tremendously challenging. The integration of cardiology and nephrology communities providing with a more holistic and complete clinical presentation of patients seems to be a necessary strategy to treat this vulnerable population.
