ESC-HF Renal Dysfunction Algorithm Calculator
- ESC-HF Renal Dysfunction Algorithm: Explanation and Clinical Context
The ESC-HF Renal Dysfunction Algorithm is designed to stratify the risk of renal impairment in patients with heart failure. It incorporates age, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), NYHA functional class, and comorbidities including diabetes mellitus and hypertension.
Risk scoring helps clinicians identify patients at low, intermediate, or high risk for worsening renal function, allowing timely interventions, medication adjustments, and monitoring strategies.
This tool is intended for use in both acute and chronic heart failure settings, aligning with the ESC Heart Failure Guidelines 2021.
