Abstract:
Objective To investigate the correlation between atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis and the severity of coronary lesions in patients with confirmed coronary artery disease and the impact of renal artery stenosis on serum inflammation related factors.Methods 163 patients from Peking University First Hospital with confirmed coronary heart disease by coronary angiography underwent selective renal artery angiography from Dec 2002 to Sep 2003.Serum hypersensitive C reactive protein(hs-CRP)and Interleukin-6(IL-6)were measured.Results Patients combined with coronary disease and renal artery stenosis were presented with more acute coronary syndrome(ACS)and triple-vessel CAD.Serum hs-CRP and IL-6 levels were also higher in this group.Conclusion Renal artery stenosis is correlated with severe coronary disease.Inflammation state could be one of the reasons for this connection.
