I read someone's death certificate. It said he died of renal failure (kidneys?) as a consequence of CAD, as a consequence of CUFF [I think, it is handwritten and hard to read].
What does it mean?
Yes, kidney failure, but I can't imagine what the abbreviations are for. We're probably not supposed.
Renal Failure - CAD - CUFF

Thank you.
How does coronary artery disease cause kidney failure -- or where can I read about it?
And what is CUFF [or similar]?

This is a useful site:

Essentially the patient died of kidney failure because his heart was damaged by the toxins the failing kidneys couldn't excrete.
This is a good, general site:
