Abstract
⺠Natriuretic peptides are both important biomarkers for Heart failure diagnosis and risk stratification. ⺠Heart Failure is often associated with renal dysfuunction and 1/3 of patients admited with Heart Failure develop worsening renal function. ⺠Worseniong renal function is due to haemodynamic impairement at systemic and renal levels and neurohormonal activation. ⺠Neuthrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin is an usefull laboratory tool for early identification of renal dysfunction and tubular damage.
