What is the recommendation for CKD patients undergoing coronary or LV angiography?
Class I recommendations for CKD patients undergoing coronary or LV angiography include estimating the creatinine clearance (CrCl) and adjusting doses of renally-cleared medications according to pharmacokinetic data for specific medications. Additionally, patients should receive adequate hydration. Class IIa recommendations suggest an invasive strategy is reasonable in mild (stage 2) and moderate (stage 3) CKD patients.
