Set Up For Cath Due To Coronary Calcification, Low Kidney Function Also. What Is The Risk Of Kidney Failure ?
I have been told I have Coronary Calcification (1400+ total calcium score). I am set up for a heart cath on Mon. July 29th.. - I also have a low kidney function (creatine level is 3.5) What percentage of risk do I have for kidney faillure? Can some kind of treatment be done for the Calcification while I'm having the heart cath? or is this test being done just to see how bad the blockage is? Thanks for your time. AAAAA
HI Thank fro choosing HCM The catheterization for cardiac evaluation procedure is quite safe, has a minimal risk if not done properly and that is too not involve the kidney in risk, first the damage of blood vessel should be assessed then the treatment comes later, so you better get it done, or I guess it you must have gone through, Good day.
