Key result
Patients with uncomplicated myocardial infarction had significantly higher initial glomerular filtration rates (120 +/- 36 ml/min) compared to values 3 weeks later (79 +/- 23 ml/min).

Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Glomerular filtration rate appears to be transiently elevated immediately following uncomplicated myocardial infarction compared to 3 weeks later.
Cr EDTA clearance was measured in 10 patients immediately after uncomplicated myocardial infarction and 3 weeks later. The initial values (120 +/- 36 ml/min) were significantly higher than the later values (79 +/- 23 ml/min). Possible reasons for this are reviewed.
