Background-Renal insufficiency has been associated with cardiovascular disease events and mortality in several prospective studies, but the mechanisms for the elevated risk are not clear. Little is known about the association of renal insufficiency with inflammatory and procoagulant markers, which are potential mediators for the cardiovascular risk of kidney disease.Methods and Results-The cross-sectional association of renal insufficiency with 8 inflammatory and procoagulant factors was evaluated using baseline data from the Cardiovascular Health Study, a population-based cohort study of 5888 subjects aged greater than or equal to65 years. C-reactive protein. fibrinogen, factor VIII, and factor VIIIc levels were treasured in nearly all participants; interleukin-6, intercellular adhesion molecule-1, plasmin-antiplasmin complex, and D-dither levels were measured in nearly half of participants. Renal insufficiency was defined as a serum creatinine level greater than or equal to1.3 mg/dL in women and greater than or equal to1.5 mg/dL in men. Multivariate linear regression was used to compare adjusted mean levels of each biomarker in persons with and without renal insufficiency after adjustment for other baseline characteristics. Renal insufficiency was present in 617 (11%) of Cardiovascular Health Study participants. After adjustment for baseline differences, levels of C-reactive protein, fibrinogen, interleukin-6, factor VIII, factor VIIIc, plasmin-antiplasmin complex, and D-dieter were significantly greater among persons with renal insufficiency (P
