title: Cardiac troponin I and creatine kinase-MB mass to rule out myocardial injury in hospitalized patients with renal insufficiency.
abstract: Serum cardiac troponin I measurement is preferred to creatine kinase-MB mass for the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction in patients with renal insufficiency. Unexplained increases in cardiac troponin I in this population requires further evaluation and close follow-up.
