Objective: To investigate the prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in a Chinese patient population with different stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Methods: Six hundred and two CKD patients who were hospitalized in Ruijin Hospital between Jan. 2004 and Jan. 2006 were selected. Patients' medical histories and the results of laboratory tests were reviewed.
Results: The prevalence of CVD in 602 patients with CKD stages 1 to 5 was 1.28%, 17.24%, 22.86%, 33.33%, 56.2% respectively. The prevalence of CVD in CKD stage 5 patients with dialysis was 78.51%. In all the patients, the prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD), left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), and congestive heart failure (CHF) was 8.64% (52/602), 26% (154/602), and 13% (78/602), respectively. Regarding co-morbidities of CVD, 34.52% of patients had 2 or more of the above abnormalities. The prevalence of CAD in patients with CKD stages 1 to 5 respectively was 1.28%, 5.75%, 7.86%, 10.26%, 12.33%;LVH was 0%, 11.49%, 16.43%, 29.49%, 44.75%; and CHF was 0%, 3.45%, 3.57%, 8.97%, 28.77%.
Conclusion: The occurrence of CVD started from CKD stage 1 and increased with the progression of CKD. The screening and prevention of CVD should begin at CKD stage 1.

Introduction: In chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, elevated parathyroid hormone (PTH) is linked to cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. Levels of PTH are influenced by serum phosphate (P) and calcium (Ca), but little is known about the impact of magnesium (Mg) on PTH. Hence, this study investigated the relationship between PTH and Mg in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients and non-dialysis patients from three hospitals in China.

Background: Contemporary population-based data examining the rates of cardiac surgery and the relationship between non-dialysis-requiring chronic kidney disease (CKD) and postoperative outcomes in cardiac surgery are limited.
Methods: We identified hospital admissions for cardiac surgical procedures in adults from 2010-2019 in the United States. The primary exposure was kidney disease, categorized as CKD stage G3, CKD stages G4 or G5, and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD).

Background: Managing acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) or end-stage renal disease on dialysis (renal replacement therapy, RRT) presents challenges due to elevated complication risks. Concerns about contrast-related kidney damage may lead to the omission of guideline-directed therapies like percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in this population.
Methods: We analysed German-DRG data of 2016 provided by the German Federal Bureau of Statistics (DESTATIS).

Background: Catheter-directed interventions (CDIs) for pulmonary embolism (PE) continue to evolve. However, due to the paucity of data, their use has been limited in patients with underlying kidney disease.
Methods: The National Readmission Database (2016-2020) was utilized to identify intermediate to high-risk PE (IHR-PE) patients requiring CDI (thrombectomy, thrombolysis, and ultrasound-assisted thrombolysis).

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with higher risk of myocardial infarction and anemia. Among patients with anemia and CKD who experience myocardial infarction, it remains uncertain if a liberal red blood cell transfusion threshold strategy (hemoglobin cutoff [Hgb] < 10 g/dL) is superior to a restrictive transfusion threshold (Hgb 7-8 g/dL) strategy.
Methods: Among the 3,504 patients enrolled in the Myocardial Ischemia and Transfusion (MINT) trial with non-missing creatinine, we compared baseline characteristics and 30-day and 6-month outcomes of patients without CKD (N = 1279), CKD with eGFR 30-60 mL/min/1.
