Management of Coronary Artery Disease in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease
Advances in Peritoneal Dialysis, 10/27/09

Coats WC et al. – Risk factor modification remains the cornerstone of management of both CKD and CAD. Many of the traditional risk factors for CAD—hypertension, diabetes mellitus, smoking, and so on—are common to CKD. However, decreased renal function limits the clinician's flexibility to manage both diseases simultaneously. Patients with decreased renal function are more likely to experience adverse reactions from medications used to treat CAD. In addition, patients with CKD are more likely to experience complications following left heart catheterization, percutaneous coronary interventions, and coronary artery bypass grafting.
