Description
Duo Zhao, Fengxiao Zhang, Hongyan Wang, and Haitao Tian test a simple blood index for predicting which kidney patients also have heart involvement, in this 2026 study. The index, EASIX, combines three routine labs into a gauge of blood vessel stress. Cardiorenal syndrome, where heart and kidney failure feed each other, is dangerous and hard to foresee.
Records of 253 kidney patients admitted between 2021 and 2024 were split into those with and without the syndrome. The index, the spread of red cell sizes, and disease stage each predicted the syndrome on their own. The index scored best, sorting patients with solid accuracy, about eighty-six percent sensitivity and seventy-six percent specificity at the chosen cutoff. The authors suggest adding it to routine assessment of kidney patients.
