- CKD prevalence in CAD patients across 14 countries was 32%, with risk stratification showing 19.7% low-moderate, 6.9% high, and 5.6% very high risk.
- Without urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (UACR), 51.3% of CKD cases would have been undetected, highlighting its importance in screening.
- The primary cardiovascular event rate was 7.9%, highest in the high-risk CKD group (men: 13.0%; women: 11.8%), independent of other factors.
- Only a minority of patients received adequate cardio-renal protective therapy, indicating significant room for improvement in treatment.
- Early CKD screening in CAD patients should include both estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and UACR for comprehensive diagnosis.
