Early-Invasive Strategies for the Management of Coronary Heart Disease in Chronic Kidney Disease: Is Acute Kidney Injury a Consideration?
People with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are less likely to receive early-invasive management of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The purpose of this article is to review the risks and outcomes of early-invasive versus conservative strategies, and to consider how contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) should factor in treatment decisions for people with CKD.

Impact of Continuous Deterioration of Kidney Function 6 to 8 Months After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for Acute Coronary Syndrome
Preprocedural chronic kidney disease and contrast-induced acute kidney injury are predictors of in-hospital death and long-term mortality. However, neither the time course of kidney function after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) nor the relation between the time course of kidney function and prognosis has been adequately studied.
