Abstract:Background
Renal dysfunction leads to poor prognosis of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Current studies have reported the prognosis or mortality of various diseases using different estimated glomerular filtrate rate (eGFR) formulas, while the performance of these equations is unclear in CAD patients. We aim to evaluate the predict effect of creatinine-based eGFR (eGFRcr), cystatin C-based eGFR (eGFRcys), and both creatinine and cystatin C-based eGFR (eGFRcr-cys) in CAD patients.
