      Moreover, oxidative stress, inflammatory response, and hypoxia induce the transdifferentiation of renal erythropoietin-producing cells, fibroblasts or pericytes to extracellular matrix-producing myofibroblasts, which drive fibrogenesis and formation of scar tissue [77]. Inflammatory and fibrotic processes ultimately lead to an elevation in the concentration of plasma creatinine and a progressive decrease of GFR, resulting in kidney failure [78]. One key stimulus activating inflammatory and fibrotic processes is oxidative stress, which has been described as an important risk factor in CKD and can be induced through oxygen supplementation in premature infants.

      Recent evidence using a Doppler method to assess renal resistance index revealed that a higher renal resistance index was associated to heart failure progression.14 Secondly, intrarenal atherosclerosis is considered a major determinant of renal impairment.15,16 Therefore, atherosclerotic kidneys may be unable to adequately adapt to the hemodynamic challenges in AHF and the additive demand of loop diuretics.
