Introduction: renal glomerular filtration rate on hospital admission in patients presented with an acute coronary syndrome as a predictor for mortality.

Patients And Methods: The study analysed 290 patients admitted on hospital with an acute coronary syndrome during one year (2003). Renal function was estimated using the renal glomerular filtration rate by the MDRD formula.
