Popis: Aim. To study renal function and prognostic value of creatinine and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) levels in regard to lethality among patients with acute decompensation of chronic heart failure (AD CHF).Material and methods. Fhe study included 392 patients hospitalized with AD CHF symptoms (mean age 65,2+8,4 years; 263 (68%) males; CHF duration - 3,6 years). Serum creatinine concentration was measured daily up to Day 7 of hospitalization. Persistently elevated creatinine level by at least 26,5 mkmol/1 pointed to deteriorating renal function. GFR was calculated according to Cockroft-Gault formula. Echocardiography at admission was performed in all participants.Results. Baseline renal dysfunction (GFR
