RESUMEN
OBJECTIVES: Several volume expansion protocols have been proposed to prevent contrast-associated acute kidney injury (CA-AKI). The aim of our study was to seek the ideal intravenous volume expansion to prevent CA-AKI in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) undergoing invasive cardiovascular procedures. METHODS: We analyzed 1927 CKD patients enrolled in 6 studies that took place from September 15, 2000 to June 6, 2019. Four volume expansion regiments were included: (1) conventional group (n=625); (2) bicarbonate group (n=255); (3) left ventricular end-diastolic pressure-guided group (n=355); and (4) urine flow rate-guided group (n=500). RESULTS: CA-AKI (serum creatinine increase ≥0.3 mg/dL at 48 hours) occurred in 224 (11%) patients. In patients with CA-AKI, volume expansion was lower (2090 ± 1382 mL vs 2551 ± 1716 mL; P less than .001) and acute pulmonary edema occurred more often (3.5% vs 0.29%; P less than .001). By ROC curve analysis, an absolute volume expansion greater than or equal to 1430 mL (AUC = 0.70) and a volume expansion to contrast media volume ratio greater than or equal to 17 (AUC = 0.57) were the best thresholds for freedom from CA-AKI. CONCLUSIONS: In our comprehensive pooled analysis, an absolute volume expansion greater than or equal to 1430 mL and a volume expansion to contrast media volume ratio greater than or equal to 17 are the best dichotomous thresholds for CA-AKI prevention. These cutoffs should be formally tested in a dedicated trial as a pragmatic means to prevent CA-AKI.

AIMS: Peri-procedural non-Q-wave myocardial infarction is a frequent and prognostically important complication of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). It has been postulated that statins may reduce the rate of myocardial injury after PCI. METHODS AND RESULTS: Four hundred and fifty-one patients scheduled for elective PCI and not on statins were randomly assigned to either no treatment or to statin treatment. Statin administration was started at least 3 days before the procedure.Incidence of peri-procedural myocardial injury was assessed by analysis of creatinine kinase myocardial isoenzyme (CK-MB: upper limit of normal [ULN] 3.5 ng/ml) and cardiac troponin I (cTn I, ULN 0.10 ng/ml) before, 6 and 12 h after the intervention. A large non-Q-wave myocardial infarction was defined as a CK-MB elevation >5 times ULN alone or associated with chest pain or ST segment or T wave abnormalities. Median CK-MB peak after PCI was 1.70 (interquartile ranges 1.10-3.70) ng/ml in the Statin group and 2.20 (1.30-5.60) ng/ml in the Control group (p=0.015). Median peak of cTnI after PCI was 0.13 (0.05-0.45) ng/ml in the Statin group and 0.21 (0.06-0.85) ng/ml in the Control group (p=0.033). The incidence of a large non-Q-wave myocardial infarction was 8.0% in the Statin group and 15.6% in the Control group (p=0.012: OR=0.47; 95% CI=0.26-0.86). The incidence of cTnI elevation >5 times ULN was 23.5% in the Statin group and 32% in the Control group (p=0.043: OR=0.65; 95% CI=0.42-0.98). By logistic regression analysis, the independent predictors of CK-MB elevation >5 times ULN after PCI were intra-procedural angiographic complications (OR=9.36; 95% CI=3.06-28.64; p<0.001), statin pre-treatment (OR=0.33; 95% CI=0.13-0.86; p=0.023) and age >65 years (OR=2.58; 95% CI=1.09-6.11; p=0.031). CONCLUSIONS: Pre-procedural statin therapy reduces the incidence of large non-Q-wave myocardial infarction after PCI.

OBJECTIVES: We performed a study to assess the efficacy of fenoldopam mesylate (a specific agonist of the dopamine-1 receptor) as compared with N-acetylcysteine (NAC) in preventing contrast agent-associated nephrotoxicity (CAN). BACKGROUND: Prophylactic administration of NAC, along with hydration, prevents CAN in patients with chronic renal insufficiency who are undergoing contrast media administration. Preliminary data support the hypothesis that fenoldopam might be as effective as NAC. METHODS: One hundred ninety-two consecutive patients with chronic renal insufficiency, referred to our institution for coronary and/or peripheral procedures, were assigned randomly to receive 0.45% saline intravenously and NAC (1,200 mg orally twice daily; NAC group; n = 97) or fenoldopam (0.10 microg/kg/min; fenoldopam group; n = 95) before and after a nonionic, iso-osmolality contrast dye administration. RESULTS: Baseline creatinine levels were similar in the two groups: NAC group = 1.72 mg/dl (interquartile range, 1.55 to 1.90 mg/dl) and fenoldopam group = 1.75 mg/dl (interquartile range, 1.62 to 2.01 mg/dl) (p = 0.17). An increase of at least 0.5 mg/dl of the creatinine concentration 48 h after the procedure occurred in 4 of 97 patients (4.1%) in the NAC group and in 13 of 95 patients (13.7%) in the fenoldopam group (p = 0.019; odds ratio 0.27; 95% confidence interval 0.08 to 0.85). The amount of contrast media administration was similar in the two groups (NAC group = 160 +/- 82 ml; fenoldopam group = 168 +/- 104 ml; p = 0.54). CONCLUSIONS: N-acetylcysteine seems to be more effective than fenoldopam in preventing CAN.

AIMS: Prophylactic administration of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) (600mg orally twice daily), along with hydration, prevents contrast agent-associated nephrotoxicity (CAN) induced by a low dose of non-ionic, low-osmolality contrast dye. We tested whether a double dose of NAC is more effective to prevent CAN. METHODS AND RESULTS: Two-hundred-twenty-four consecutive patients with chronic renal insufficiency (creatinine level > or =1.5mg/dl and/or creatinine clearance <60ml/min), referred to our institution for coronary and/or peripheral procedures, were randomly assigned to receive 0.45% saline intravenously and NAC at the standard dose (600mg orally twice daily; SD Group; n=110) or at a double dose (1200mg orally twice daily; DD Group; n=114) before and after a non-ionic, low-osmolality contrast dye administration. Increase of at least 0.5mg/dl of the creatinine concentration 48h after the procedure occurred in 12/109 patients (11%) in the SD Group and 4/114 patients (3.5%) in the DD Group (P=0.038; OR=0.29; 95% CI=0.09-0.94). In the subgroup with low (<140ml, or contrast ratio <=1) contrast dose, no significant difference in renal function deterioration occurred between the 2 groups. In the subgroup with high (> or =140ml, or contrast ratio >1) contrast dose, the event was significantly more frequent in the SD Group. Conclusions Double dose of NAC seems to be more effective than the standard dose in preventing CAN, especially with high volumes of non-ionic, low-osmolality contrast agent.

OBJECTIVES: Prophylactic acetylcysteine along with hydration seems to be better than hydration alone in preventing the reduction in renal function induced by a contrast dye. BACKGROUND: Contrast media can lead to acute renal failure that may occasionally require hemodialysis. METHODS: One hundred eighty-three consecutive patients with impairment of renal function, undergoing coronary and/or peripheral angiography and/or angioplasty, were randomly assigned to receive 0.45% saline intravenously and acetylcysteine (600 mg orally twice daily; group A, n = 92) or 0.45% saline intravenously alone (group B, n = 91) before and after nonionic, low-osmolality contrast dye administration. RESULTS: The baseline serum creatinine concentrations were similar (1.5 +/- 0.4 mg/dl in group A vs. 1.5 +/- 0.4 mg/dl in group B; p = 0.37). An increase of > or =25% in the baseline creatinine level 48 h after the procedure occurred in 6 (6.5%) of 92 patients in group A and in 10 (11%) of 91 patients in group B (p = 0.22). In the subgroup with a low (<140 ml) contrast dose, renal function deterioration occurred in 5 (8.5%) of 60 patients in group B and in 0 of 60 patients in group A (p = 0.02; odds ratio [OR] 0.44, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.35 to 0.54). In the subgroup with a high contrast dose, no difference was found (5/31 vs. 6/32 patients, p = 0.78). By multivariate analysis, the amount of contrast agent, but not the treatment strategy, was a predictor of the occurrence of contrast dye-associated nephrotoxicity (OR 2.58, 95% CI 1.1 to 4.9; p = 0.035). CONCLUSIONS: In patients with reduced renal function undergoing angiography and/or angioplasty, the amount of contrast agent, but not the administration of prophylactic acetylcysteine, was a predictor of renal function deterioration. Prophylactic acetylcysteine might provide better protection than hydration alone, only when a small volume of contrast agent is used.
