WCN25-686 OUTCOME OF PATIENTS TREATED FOR CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE IN CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE . A COLLABORATIVE STUDY FROM INDIA AND BANGLADESH

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major clinical problem worldwide and is one of the leading causes of health disability. CKD patients have an increased premature mortality mostly because of higher incidence of cardiovascular disease. As CKD stage worsens, the probability of developing coronary artery disease (CAD) increases. Despite the high risk, coronary angiogram is infrequently offered in patients with CKD. And as diagnostic contrast studies are rare, to understand whether we are justified in our reluctance of evaluating and appropriately managing coronary artery disease a prospective cohort study was done in two centers in India and Bangladesh (one from each country).
