The population of patients with concomitant heart and kidney disease is expected to increase, significantly impacting public health and healthcare utilization. A multidisciplinary team approach aiming to provide coordinated care is crucial for improving patient outcomes and optimizing healthcare resources.
The population with concomitant heart and kidney disease (often termed 'cardiorenal' disease) is expected to grow, significantly impacting public health and healthcare utilization. Moreover, the cardiorenal nexus encompasses a bidirectional relationship that worsens prognosis and may complicate pharmacological management in often elderly and frail patients. Therefore, a more cohesive multidisciplinary team approach aiming to provide holistic, coordinated and specialized care would be a positive shift towards improving patient outcomes and optimizing healthcare resources. This article aims to define the organizational aspects and key elements for setting up a multidisciplinary cardiorenal clinical program as a potential healthcare model adapted to the particular characteristics of patients with cardiorenal disease.
