【 摘 要 】

Objectives: Increasing prevalence of renal artery stenosis (RAS) in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients has been reported by many.We aimed to study the incidence and risk factorsof renal artery disease in patients undergoing coronary angiography (CAG) and/or peripheral angiography (PAG). Methods:Data of 2209 consecutive patients undergoing CAG and/or PAG followed by renal angiography was collected from January-June 2013. Pervasiveness of risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, smoking, family history and incidence of CADwerestudied. Significant difference in profiles of patients with or without compelling atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (ARAS) was tested by chi-square and unpaired t-test. Results and conclusion:Of 2209 patients, the prevalence of RAS in the study population was 6.11%. Mean age of the RAS patient group was57.17 10.82 years. Advancing age, hypertension, diabetes, smoking and dyslipidemia were found to be strongly associated with RAS. Patients with significant CAD had increased chances to develop ARAS.Ageing and presence of risk factorswere closely associated with significant ARAS and hence they could be used in effectively predicting the presence of RAS in patients undergoing routineCAG and/or PAG.
