Abstract

Melissa Cousino*

Cardiorenal multimorbidity, the coexistence of cardiovascular and renal diseases, is a complex and challenging clinical condition frequently encountered in hospitalized cardiology patients. The close relationship between the heart and kidneys makes them susceptible to mutual pathophysiological interactions, leading to an increased risk of adverse outcomes. This essay aims to explore the prevalence, mechanisms, clinical implications, and management strategies for cardiorenal multimorbidity in hospitalized cardiology patients, emphasizing the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to optimize patient outcomes. Cardiorenal multimorbidity is a prevalent condition, particularly in the hospitalized cardiology patient population. The simultaneous presence of heart and kidney disease significantly increases the risk of morbidity and mortality.
