Background: Despite of considerable advances in its diagnosis and management, heart failure remains an unsettled problem and life threatening. Heart failure with a growing prevalence represents a burden to healthcare system, responsible for deterioration of patient’s daily activities. Galectin-3 is a new cardiac biomarker in prognosis for heart failure. Serum galectin-3 has some relation to heart failure NYHA classification, acute coronary syndrome and clinical outcome. Level of serum galectin-3 give information for prognosis and help risk stratifications in patient with heart failure, so intensive therapeutics can be approached to patients with high risk. Objective: To examine plasma galectin-3 level in hospitalized heart failure patients, investigate the relationship between galectin-3 level with associated diseases, clinical conditions and disease progression in hospital. Methodology: Cross sectional study. Result: 20 patients with severe heart failure as NYHA classification were diagnosed by The ESC Guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic heart failure (2012) and performed blood test for serum galectin-3 level. Increasing of serum galectin-3 level have seen in all patients, mean value is 36.5 (13.7 – 74.0), especially high level in patient with acute coronary syndrome and patients with severe chronic kidney disease. There are five patients dead. Conclusion: Serum galectin-3 level increase in patients with heart failure and has some relation to NYHA classification, acute coronary syndrome. However, level of serum galectin-3 can be affected by severe chronic kidney disease, more research is needed on this aspect Key words: Serum galectin-3, heart failure, ESC Guidelines, NYHA

Abstract Diabetic kidney disease develops in about 40% of patients with diabetes and is the commonest cause of chronic kidney disease worldwide. Patients with chronic kidney disease, especially those with diabetes mellitus, are at high risk of both developing kidney failure and cardiovascular death. The use of renin-angiotensin system blockers to reduce the incidence of kidney failure in patients with diabetic kidney disease dates back to studies that are now 20 or more years old. During the last few years sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors have shown beneficial renal effects in randomized trials. However, even in response to combined treatment with renin-angiotensin system blockers and sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors, the renal residual risk remains high with kidney failure only deferred, but not avoided. The risk of cardiovascular death also remains high even with optimal current treatment. Steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists reduce albuminuria and surrogate markers of cardiovascular disease in patients already on optimal therapy. However, their use has been curtailed by the significant risk of hyperkalaemia. In The FInerenone in reducing kiDnEy faiLure and dIsease prOgression in Diabetic Kidney Disease (FIDELIO-DKD) study comparing the actions of the non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist finerenone with placebo, finerenone reduced the progression of diabetic kidney disease and the incidence of cardiovascular events with a relatively safe adverse event profile. This document presents in detail the available evidence on the cardioprotective and nephroprotective effects of mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, analyses the potential mechanisms involved and discusses their potential future place in the treatment of patients with diabetic chronic kidney disease.

Objective: The trajectory patterns of estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFR) in chronic kidney disease (CKD) older adults with malnourishment and their association with subsequent patient outcomes have not been elucidated. We aimed to assess the eGFR trajectory patterns for predicting patient survival and kidney failure in the elderly without or with malnourishment.Materials and Methods: Based on a prospective longitudinal cohort, CKD patients aged 65 years or older were enrolled from 2001 to 2013. Among the 3,948 patients whose eGFR trajectory patterns were analyzed, 1,872 patients were stratified by the absence or presence of malnourishment, and 765 patients were identified and categorized as having malnourishment. Four eGFR trajectory patterns [gradual decline (T0), early non-decline and then persistent decline (T1), persistent increase (T2), and low baseline and then progressive increase (T3)] were classified by utilizing a linear mixed-effect model with a quadratic term in time. The malnourishment was defined as body mass index < 22 kg/m2, serum albumin < 3.0 mg/dL, or Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) < 98. This study assessed the effectiveness of eGFR trajectory patterns in a median follow-up of 2.27 years for predicting all-cause mortality and kidney failure.Results: The mean age was 76.9 ± 6.7 years, and a total of 82 (10.7%) patients with malnourishment and 57 (5.1%) patients without malnourishment died at the end of the study. Compared with the reference trajectory T0, the overall mortality of T1 was markedly reduced [adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) = 0.52, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.32–0.83]. In patients with trajectory, T3 was associated with a high risk for kidney failure (aHR = 5.68, 95% CI 3.12–10.4) compared with the reference, especially higher risk in the presence of malnourishment. Patients with high GNRI values were significantly associated with a lower risk of death and kidney failure, but patients with malnourishment and concomitant alcohol consumption had a higher risk of kidney failure.Conclusions: Low baseline eGFR and progressively increasing eGFR trajectory were high risks for kidney failure in CKD patients. These findings may be attributed to multimorbidity, malnourishment, and decompensation of renal function.
