The aim was to study prevalence of some risk factors of the renal dysfunction. Methods and results. 344 patients with ischemic chronic heart failure were included. Clinical, medical history, laboratory and instrumental data were analyzed. It was established that renal dysfunction is accompanied by traditional (age, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, myocardial infarction, obesity, left ventricular hypertrophy) and non-traditional risk factors (hyperuricemia, atrial fibrillation, left ventricular ejection fraction, left atrial volume index, cystatin C) whose role increases with a decrease in glomerular filtration rate. Conclusion. This shows the close relationship between traditional and non-traditional risk factors that contribute to the development of cardio-renal complications.
