Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial
Outcomes of patients with chronic renal insufficiency in the bypass angioplasty revascularization investigation.
Although severe chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an independent predictor of mortality among patients with coronary artery disease, the impact of mild CKD on morbidity and mortality has not been fully defined. ⋯ CKD is associated with an increased risk of recurrent hospitalization, subsequent CABG, and mortality. This increased risk of death is independent of and additive to the risk associated with diabetes.
