Abstract
Background: The outcome is poor in patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI) who have renal dysfunction in long-term follow-up. Less is known about the outcome of acute MI in the short term. Objectives: We aimed to evaluate the outcome of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) across varying degrees of renal dysfunction. Materials and methods: Seventy patients presenting with ACS, including ST-segment elevation MI (STEMI), non-ST-segment elevation MI (NSTEMI), and unstable angina (UA), were enrolled in this prospective observational study. Sociodemographic and clinical characteristics and in-hospital outcomes were compared for patients according to glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Results: Patients with moderate to severe renal dysfunction were elderly females and associated with more comorbidities and adverse outcomes if compared with patients who had normal to mild renal dysfunction. When the enrolled patients were divided into two groups, STEMI and NSTEMI/UA, a significant difference was observed between these two groups. There was no significant association between STEMI with the occurrence of adverse outcomes and the presence of moderate to severe renal dysfunction. On the other hand, there is a significant association with the occurrence of adverse outcomes among patients in the NSTEMI/UA group. Conclusion: Moderate to severe renal impairment is a predictor of in-hospital morbidity and mortality in ACS.
