METHODS: Case records of consecutive patients undergoing coronary angiography(CAG) in March 2017 at our hospital were studied. Among these CKD was identified based on estimated Glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) by four variable MDRD formula of< 60 ml/min/1,73 m for at least three months. This group was compared with those with eGFR 60ml/min/1.73 m . The groups were compared for number, site , morphology of coronary artery lesions, demography and mortality with follow up of up to six months. Indications for CAG were unstable angina/ persistent stable angina/positive stress treadmill test/preoperative evaluation in standard indications. Coronary artery stenosis was considered significant at 50 % or above, morphology described as discrete if less than 10 millimeter(mm) in length, tubular if 10 to 20 mm, diffuse if> 20 mm, tandem if multiple and critical if> 70 % stenosis.Presence of calcification was noted. Statistical analysis was done on SPSS 20 and p value less than 0.05 considered significant.
