Cardiorenal syndromes (CRS) involve disorders of the heart or kidney whereby one organ dysfunction leads to the\uddysfunction of another. Five types of CRS are defined. While the first 4 types describe acute/chronic cardiorenal\udor renocardiac syndromes, type-5 CRS refers to secondary CRS or cardiorenal involvement in systemic conditions\udand describes the concomitant presence of renal and cardiovascular dysfunction. Type-5 CRS is a recently defined\udclinical syndrome and complete epidemiological data on this entity are still lacking. In the following review, epidemiological,\udpathophysiological, clinical, and therapeutic approaches to type-5 CRS will be discussed according\udto more recent findings
