Abstract :

With the demographic changes in both developed and developing countries toward individuals who are older, more obese and with proneness towards diabetes and hypertension, increased risk of atherosclerosis, there is a rapidly growing epidemic of non –communicable disease like cardiovascular disease and kidney disease. Very often a physician is confronted with patients who have concomitant heart as well as kidney failure. This study will help us to understand the epidemiology, incidence and risk factors for the development of cardio renal syndrome in Indian population. It will also help in awareness and will improve the outcome of these patients using multidisciplinary approach, assimilating the expertise of cardiology, nephrology and critical care physicians
