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.
