A history of renal insufficiency or increased creatinine level on admission is associated with poor outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). This study sought to determine whether in-hospital worsening of renal function, either transient or sustained, is an independent risk factor for 6-month mortality in patients admitted with ACS. A total of 1,417 patients admitted with ACS from June 2000 to May 2003 were reviewed. Patients were classified into 3 groups. Group I included patients with an increase in creatinine during hospitalization of 0.5 mg/dl that resolved by discharge. Group III included patients with an increase in creatinine of >0.5 mg/dl that did not resolve. The primary end point was 6-month mortality from any cause. Patients in groups II and III had higher 6-month mortality rates (27% and 23%, respectively; both p
