Functional state of the kidneys in patients with acute coronary syndrome against the background of newly identified disorders of carbohydrate metabolism: a multidisciplinary problem.

Background: Determining the relationship between cardiovascular risks, carbohydrate metabolism disorders, and renal dysfunction can help in creating new tools for their management and for better interaction of specialists in a multidisciplinary team. The purpose of this study was to determine the functional state of the kidneys and carbohydrate metabolism in patients with acute coronary syndrome without a history of such disorders.

Methods: 200 patients of the cardiology department of the City Clinical Hospital No. 7 in Almaty were examined using laboratory diagnostics and subsequent statistical data processing.

Results: Acute coronary syndrome develops in 63% of cases against the background of previous disorders of carbohydrate metabolism - prediabetes (45.5%) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (17.5%). In this group of patients, in the presence of disorders of carbohydrate metabolism, in all cases, it is accompanied by acute renal damage. It was noted that diabetes mellitus in newly diagnosed patients actually had a certain duration and occurred much earlier than cardiovascular complications - this was evidenced by an increased level of glycated hemoglobin.

Conclusions: Such results indicate the need for early diagnosis of cardio-reno-metabolic syndrome in patients with cardiovascular complications, as well as timely administration of drugs that simultaneously have antidiabetic, cardio- and nephroprotective effects.
