title: Advances in the Management of Acute Cardiorenal Syndrome in China: Biomarkers for Predicting Development and Outcomes.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Acute cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) is a common clinical condition associated with adverse outcomes. Early identification of acute kidney injury in this setting remains challenging given that serum creatinine level is a marker of renal function and not kidney injury.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Several renal injury-related molecules are now available, which may help elucidate the complexities of the organ crosstalk, enabling more accurate risk stratification and effective interventions.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This review highlights the major studies that have characterized the diagnostic and prognostic predictive power of these biomarkers with reference to acute CRS. Although more research is needed, the current results are very promising.
