High-Sensitivity cardiac troponin I in the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction: A study in patients with renal insufficiency.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) exhibit a heightened risk of myocardial infarction. Chronic elevation of cardiac troponin levels frequently occurs in CKD patients, thereby diminishing their diagnostic utility in the evaluation of suspected non-ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (NSTE-AMI). This study aimed to assess the diagnostic performance of initial high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) for AMI in populations with and without chronic kidney disease.

Methods

A total of 142 consecutive CKD patients attending the nephrology outpatient clinic were enrolled to investigate the association between baseline hs-cTnI concentrations and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). In parallel, A total of 237 CKD patients presenting to the
