Acquired hemophilia complicated by cardiorenal syndrome type 3

Cardiorenal syndrome type 3: pathophysiologic and epidemiologic considerations.

Cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) type 3 is a subclassification of the CRS whereby an episode of acute kidney injury (AKI) precipitates and contributes to the development of acute cardiac injury. There is limited understanding of the pathophysiologic mechanisms of how AKI contributes to acute cardiac injury and/or dysfunction. An episode of AKI may have effects that depend on the severity and duration...
