Coronary heart disease is not significantly linked to acute kidney injury identified using Acute Kidney Injury Group criteria
Josef YayanDepartment of Internal Medicine, Vinzentius Hospital, Landau, GermanyBackground: Patients with unstable angina or myocardial infarction are at risk of acute kidney injury, which may be aggravated by the iodine-containing contrast agent used during coronary angiography; however, the relati...
