Background: Cardio-Renal Syndrome (CRS) is a pathophysiologic condition in which the combination of cardiac and renal failure leads to failure of each individual organ, increasing the morbidity and mortality in this group of patients. Objective: To determine risk factors for CRS that affects the greatest on the prognosis at Viedma Hospital in Cochabamba, during the period of January 2000 to December 2010. Methods: it was conducted an analytical-descriptive, retrospective and cross-sectional survey. The approach to analysis is a quantitative study. Using a simple random sampling of 121 patients per year in the period covered from 2000 to 2010. Results: The risk factors as predictors associated with the prognosis of CRS are: 1. Sedentary, 2. Inflammatory processes, 3. Alcohol, 4. Anemia. This findings are quite important because the typical risk factors for heart disease was smoking, diabetes mellitus, hypertension and hypercholesterolemia. Conclusions: The frequency of CRS mortality in our hospital was 14% compared to Heart failure=35%, Renal failure=51%. The age group was between 40 and 60 years old (mean 59 years). The male sex predominated in the CRS. Chronic Cardio-Renal Syndrome type 2 was the most frequent. The first cause of death for CRS was sepsis.
