Abstract:
An association of renal and cardiac manifestations can be observed in a variety of diseases. The pathogenetic factors may include, firstly, a disturbance of organ development due to chromosomal aberration or an underlying syndrome or, secondly, infectious, immunologic and metabolic factors. In addition, primarily isolated diseases of the heart or the kidney may lead to damage of the previously unaffected organ. The present article gives a review on renal diseases associated with heart diseases in children and adults.
