Impairment of Kidney Function in Patients with Chronic Coronary Syndromes.

ABSTRACT: Background: Kidney function is critical for cardiovascular health, and its appropriate assessment entails proper determination of prognosis in patients with chronic coronary syndromes (CCSs). However, assessment of the urinary spot albumin to creatinine ratio (uACR) is often overlooked, whereas it is crucial for determination of chronic kidney disease (CKD). This study assesses the prevalence of impaired kidney function in patients with CCS based on their eGFR and albuminuria. Methods and results: This study comprised a total of 1957 patients from seven regions in Poland, aged ≤ 80 years, who, 6-18 months earlier, were hospitalized for acute coronary syndrome or elective myocardial revascularization. Complete uACR and eGFR data were obtained from 1152 patients (median age was
