Kidney function is associated with short-term, mid-term and long-term clinical outcome after coronary angiography and intervention.

CONCLUSIONS: We report a strong association between kidney function and all-cause mortality at both early, mid- and long-term follow-up in patients undergoing coronary angiography and intervention, with eGFR significantly associated with MI-related mortality after one month of follow-up. Kidney function was also shown to be associated with risk for re-vascularisation at one month, indicating mostly procedural-related risk and with new MI at mid-term follow-up. Further research is warranted to explore the mechanisms linking kidney function and cardiovascular disease to improve both the short- and long-term care of these patients.
