Kardiorenales Anämiesyndrom – Was ist das?

Der Begriff ”kardiorenales Anämiesyndrom“ weist auf die häufig vergesellschaftete, sich gegenseitig verstärkende, Beziehung zwischen eingeschränkter Herzfunktion, eingeschränkter Nierenfunktion und Anämie hin. Diese Klassifizierung ist nützlich, da sie Hinweise auf Therapieoptionen gibt, obwohl diese noch gegenwärtig sich nur teilweise auf kontrollierte Evidenz stützen können.

The term CRAS (”Cardiorenal Anemia Syndrome“) refers to the frequent coexistence of reduced cardiac function, reduced renal function and anemia. This classification is useful because it points to therapeutic options, although admittedly the evidence for the efficacy of this intervention is currently still incomplete.

Key words

CRAS - reduced cardiac function - reduced renal function - anemia - therapeutic options
