Calcium-phosphorus product and troponin-T values in renal failure.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to see if there is a significant association between calcium-phosphorus product (CPP) and initial troponin-T values in patients with renal insufficiency.

Basic Procedures: A retrospective study over 4 months from the laboratory database of all patients with serum creatinine values greater than 3 mg/dL who had concomitant troponin T and creatine kinase isoenzymes measured was conducted. The most recent calcium and phosphorus values were also abstracted.
