LOPEZ ROMERO, Jorge et al. Hidden chronic kidney disease in patients with acute coronary syndrome. Medicentro Electrónica [online]. 2020, vol.24, n.1, pp. 85-105. ISSN 1029-3043.
Introduction:
chronic kidney disease is considered a global public health problem; there are convincing data that it can be detected by simple laboratory tests. Its treatment can prevent complications, slow progression and reduce cardiovascular risk.
Objective:
to evaluate the prevalence of hidden chronic kidney disease in patients diagnosed with acute coronary syndrome.
Method:
a descriptive, retrospective and analytical study was conducted in patients with acute coronary syndrome who were hospitalized in the Cardiology Service at "Arnaldo Milián Castro" Clinico-Surgical University Hospital from January to December 2014. Hospital clinical records, databases of the Diagnostic Center, documents of the Department of Statistics and the register of Pathological Anatomy of those who died were reviewed.
Results:
16.7% of patients were diagnosed with the disease. Patients over 70 years of age, female and white-skinned predominated; the most frequent diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome was acute myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation.
Conclusions:
the risk factors most associated with hidden chronic kidney disease were: old age, female gender, high blood pressure, diabetes mellitus and heart failure.
