Abstract
BACKGROUND: Diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome may be challenging because of high troponin concentrations in patients with chronic kidney disease. OBJECTIVE: the aim of this study is to investigate the difference between high sensitivity troponin T and troponin I in four groups of patients separated according to eGFR values and the effect of renal function both on troponin T and troponin I. METHODS: 119 outpatients were divided into 4 groups according to their eGFR values as Group 1: eGFR<30, Group 2: eGFR between 30 and 60, Group 3: eGFR between 60 and 90 and Group 4: eGFR >90mL/min/1.73m(2). The cardiac troponin T and I concentrations were measured concurrently. RESULTS: Troponin T values of all patients who have eGFR values lower than 30mL/min/1.73m(2) were above the decision point, but cTnI values of only 2 patients were above the decision limit (40ng/L) in this group. There was a strong and significant negative relationship between eGFR and hs-cTnT [log(y)=2.3-0.72log(x); R(2)=0.625] whereas there was no significant relationship between eGFR and hs-cTnI [log(y)=1.28-0.08log(x); R(2)=0.013] when eGFR was taken into consideration as a continuous variable. CONCLUSION: In this study, we found that cTnT increases with decreasing eGFR values, but cTnI is not affected by the change in eGFR values.
