The contrast medium volume to estimated glomerular filtration rate ratio as a predictor of contrast-induced nephropathy after primary percutaneous coronary intervention.
International Urology and Nephrology 2012 Februrary
BACKGROUND: Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is a serious complication in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) patients, which may be related to the contrast dose used during cardiac catheterization.
METHODS: We prospectively investigated 277 consecutive consenting patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) who were given primary PCI, and we calculated their ratio of volume of contrast media to estimated glomerular filtration rate (V/eGFR). Receiver-operator characteristic methods were used to identify the optimal sensitivity for the observed range of V/eGFR for CIN (i.e., within 48-72 h). The predictive value of V/eGFR for the risk of CIN was assessed using multivariable logistic regression.
RESULTS: Twenty-five (9%) patients developed CIN. The baseline mean and median V/eGFR values were significantly greater among patients with CIN (mean 3.22 ± 1.53, median 2.97, and interquartile range 1.90-4.17) than among those without CIN (mean 1.80 ± 1.00, median 1.52, and interquartile range 1.12-2.21, P < 0.001). The receiver-operator characteristic curve analysis indicated that a V/eGFR ratio of 2.39 was a fair discriminator for CIN (C statistic 0.81). After adjusting for other known predictors of CIN, a V/eGFR ratio ≥ 2.39 remained significantly associated with CIN (odds ratio 4.24, 95% confidence interval 1.23-14.66, P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION: A V/eGFR ratio ≥ 2.39 was a significant and independent predictor of CIN after primary PCI in patients with STEMI.
