What Is Cardiorenal Syndrome?
Cardiorenal syndrome is a complex condition in which dysfunction in one organ—either the heart or the kidneys—causes complications in the other. Because the two systems are so closely linked, this disorder requires a specialized and collaborative approach. At Southwest Kidney Institute in Arizona, our board-certified specialists provide compassionate care with a streamlined approach to diagnosis and management.

Heart Failure and Kidney Function
The connection between heart failure and kidney health is critical. When the heart cannot pump blood effectively, the kidneys may not receive adequate blood flow, leading to damage. Conversely, chronic kidney disease can trigger fluid retention and high blood pressure, placing added stress on the heart. Our expertise in cardiorenal syndrome ensures you receive precise, integrated care for both organs.

Treatment for Cardiorenal Syndrome
Our team develops a unified treatment plan designed to protect both your heart and kidneys. This may include medication adjustments, fluid management strategies, and close coordination with your cardiologist. By addressing the complete picture of your health, we help manage symptoms, slow disease progression, and improve your overall well-being.
