Background
Chronic kidney disease is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, and low glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is known to be associated with a higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease. However, there is currently no report on the association between the stage of chronic kidney disease and coronary artery lesion parameters such as site and number.
Methods
We examined variations in the site and number of coronary artery lesions in relation to the presence or absence of diabetes and dyslipidemia, and differences in laboratory parameter values such as serum blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine (Cr), and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in 2885 cases (average age: 68.96±10.32 years; 2140 men, 745 women) who underwent coronary angiography in our hospital from January 2009 to November 2011.
Results
Although there was no significant variation in coronary artery lesion sites in relation to differences in age or the presence or absence of diabetes or dyslipidemia, there was a significant increase in the number of right coronary artery lesions as the stage of chronic kidney disease progressed (P=0.001, Kruskal Wallis test).
Conclusion
Our results suggest that the progression of renal dysfunction may cause an increase in the number of right coronary artery lesions.
