Circulating Progenitor Cells in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease and Renal Insufficiency

Year: 2020

Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Patients with coronary artery disease and renal insufficiency (RI) (estimated glomerular filtration rate <60 ml/min/1.73 m2) are at an increased risk of cardiovascular events. The contribution of regenerative capacity, measured as circulating progenitor cell (CPC) counts, to this increased risk is unclear. CPCs were enumerated as cluster of differentiation (CD) 45med+ mononuclear cells expressing CD34+, CD133+, CXCR4+ (chemokine [C-X-C motif] receptor 4), and VEGF2R+ (vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2) epitopes in 1,281 subjects with coronary artery disease (35% with RI). Patients with RI and low ( median) were at a similar risk as those without RI.
