  1. Data are expressed as Median (Quartile range) or Mean ± Standard deviation
  2. CRS: type 2 Cardio-Renal syndrome; miR-21: MicroRNA-21; CHF: chronic heart failure; eGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate; KIM-1: idney injury factor-1; NGAL: neutrophil gelatinase-related apolipoprotein; Cys C: cystatin C; NT-proBNP: amino-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide; NAG: N-acetyl-κ-D-glucosaminidase; H-FABP: heart-typefatty acid–binding protein. P < 0.05 has statistically significant.
