The impact of renal function on platelet reactivity and clinical outcome in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention with stenting.

In conclusion, the magnitude of platelet reactivity as well as the incidence of HPR was higher in patients with CKD. However, since the incidence of HPR was similar after adjustment, a higher rate of co-morbidities in patients with CKD might be the major cause for this observation rather than CKD itself. CKD-patients with HCPR were at the highest risk of long-term cardiovascular events. PMID: 25231776 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
