It is still unclear in the literature whether individuals with renal dysfunction present particularities in the clinical manifestations during acute myocardial infarction, similar to individuals with diabetes. Aims: To evaluate the characteristics of clinical manifestations in patients with CKD and ACS. Methods: The Chi-square test and Student's t-test were used to analyze the profile of patients with coronary syndrome and renal disease who were admitted for chest pain at the analyzed hospital. Results: The majority of individuals with renal disfunction present highly suspicious characteristics, with statistical significance by presenting a p-value equal to 0.01 and a 95% confidence interval (0.04-0.14). Conclusion: Individuals with kidney disease predominantly exhibit highly suspicious clinical manifestations for acute coronay syndrome.}, issn = {2375-1924}, doi = {10.18103/mra.v12i1.4965}, url = {https://esmed.org/MRA/mra/article/view/4965} }
