Prevalencia de insuficiencia renal crónica en pacientes de alto riesgo o con enfermedad cardiovascular / Prevalence of chronic kidney disease in patients with or at a high risk of cardiovascular disease

RESUMEN

Este subanálisis del estudio MULTIRISC evaluó la prevalencia de insuficiencia renal crónica (IRC) en pacientes con alto riesgo o enfermedad cardiovascular. Se trata de un estudio epidemiológico, transversal y multicéntrico realizado en consultas externas de cardiología, medicina interna o endocrinología. Se incluyó a pacientes con 18 años o más, con alto riesgo cardiovascular (SCORE > 5% o diabetes o enfermedad clínica concomitante). Se definió IRC si el filtrado glomerular estimado (MDRD) era < 60 ml/min/1,73 m2; IRC establecida si además la creatinina era ≥ 1,3 mg/dl en varones o ≥ 1,2 mg/dl en mujeres, e IRC oculta cuando la creatinina era inferior. Se incluyó a 2.608 pacientes. El 62,7% no presentaba IRC, el 18,9% presentaba IRC establecida y el 18,4%, IRC oculta. La IRC es muy prevalente en pacientes con alto riesgo cardiovascular (AU)

ABSTRACT

This secondary analysis of data from the MULTIRISC study investigated the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in patients who either had or were at a high risk of cardiovascular disease. The original, epidemiological, cross-sectional, multicenter study was carried out in outpatient clinics belonging to cardiology, internal medicine and endocrinology departments. It included patients aged ≥18 years with a high cardiovascular risk (i.e., a SCORE [Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation] risk >5% or diabetes mellitus or associated clinical disease). The definition of CKD was an estimated glomerular filtration rate (Modification of Diet in Renal Disease formula) <60 ml min per 1 73 m2 established ckd was regarded as present when in addition the serum creatinine level 8805 3 mg dl men or 2 women and occult lower total 2608 patients were included some 62 7 did not have 18 9 had 4 summary highly prevalent with a high risk of cardiovascular disease (AU)
