Objective: The objective of this study is to determine the prevalence of IRfunction in the patients with systolic heart failure. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting:Patients admitted in the Cardiac Ward of Civil Hospital. Methodology: IRF was evaluated onthe basis of creatinine and GFR. Cases having creatinine of more than 1.2mg/dl and GFR lessthan 90ml/min were considered to have IRF. Serial measurement of creatinine was made initiallyon admission then on fifth day. Elevated creatinine of 0.3mg/dl from baseline creatinine duringadmission had justified as WRF. All patients were followed daily for 10 days and final outcomewas measured at the end of 10 days. Results: 377 cases were enrolled in this study during studyperiod. (70.03%) were male. Mean weight was 79.36±12.2 kg and 70.8% patients of weight 70kg. Of 377 selected cases 57% patients developed IRF. Conclusion: It was concluded fromthis study that renal impairment is highly linked with Heart Failure. 57% patients were found tohave developed IRF in this study.
