Popis: Introduction Insulin resistance (IR) plays an important role in the occurrence and development of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is a simple and effective tool to evaluate IR. This study aimed to evaluate the association of the TyG index with coronary artery disease (CAD) and the severity of coronary artery stenosis (CAS) in nondialysis patients with stages 3–5 CKD.Methods Nondialysis patients with stages 3–5 CKD who underwent the first coronary angiography at Zhongda Hospital affiliated with Southeast University from August 2015 to January 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. CAS was measured by coronary angiography, and the CAS score was calculated as the Gensini score. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the related factors of CAD and severe CAS.Results A total of 943 patients were enrolled in this cross-sectional study and 720 (76.4%) of these patients were diagnosed with CAD. The TyG index in the CAD group (7.29 ± 0.63) was significantly higher than that in the non-CAD group (7.11 ± 0.61) (p
