One-third of patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) develop worsening kidney function, known as type I cardiorenal syndrome (CRS). CRS is linked to higher mortality rates, prolonged hospital stays, and increased readmissions. ⋯ Implementing real-time monitoring of UO in ADHF patients allowed for early response to oliguria and goal-directed adjustment to treatment. This finding ultimately led to reduced congestion and contributed to early resolution of AKI.
