THE BURDEN OF CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE IN PATIENTS WITH CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE
Main Article Content
Abstract
Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and coronary artery disease (CAD) pose significant challenges in patient management. This section introduces the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and clinical implications of CKD in CAD patients.
Epidemiology: CKD is prevalent among CAD patients, contributing to increased cardiovascular risk and mortality. The prevalence varies with age, sex, and comorbidities, necessitating tailored management approaches.
Result Analysis & Discussion: CKD exacerbates cardiovascular risk and leads to poorer outcomes in CAD patients. Effective management strategies require a multidisciplinary approach to balance cardiovascular risk reduction with preserving renal function.
Conclusion: Understanding the impact of CKD in patients with CAD is crucial for optimizing outcomes. Tailored management approaches addressing both cardiovascular and renal aspects are essential for improving patient care in this population.
