Angiographic evaluation of coronary artery disease in diabetic patients with and without end-stage kidney disease.

ABSTRACT: The objective of the present investigation was to compare the coronary angiography results in diabetic patients with and without end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). We included prolonged diabetic patients with ESKD (93 patients) and without ESKD (control group, 126 patients). Angiography of the coronary arteries was performed on all patients. Our results revealed that the ESKD patients tended to have a higher degree of coronary artery stenosis in all parts of LAD (p = 0.001, 0.024, and 0.005), proximal and distal RCA (p = 0.013, and 0.008), and proximal and distal LCX artery (p = 0.001, 0.008) than non-ESKD patients. Furthermore, we found that the ESKD group had higher significant coronary artery stenosis in the LAD artery (60.5% vs. 39.5%, p < 0.001), RCA (60.3% vs. 39.7%, p < 0.001), LCX ar
