RESUMO
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: Nowadays, the frequency of complications is also increasing following the increasing frequency of coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention. Contrast-induced nephropathy is one of the most common of these complications. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the Osaka prognostic score, which has previously been shown to have prognostic importance in gastrointestinal malignancies, and the development of contrast-induced nephropathy. METHODS: The study retrospectively examined the data of 1,498 patients who underwent coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention due to acute coronary syndrome between 2018 and 2023. Demographic characteristics and laboratory findings were retrospectively collected from patients' charts and electronic medical records. RESULTS: Osaka prognostic score (0.84±0.25 vs. 2.2±0.32, p<0.001) was higher in patients who developed contrast-induced nephropathy. Also, Osaka prognostic score [OR 2.161 95%CI (1.101-4.241), p<0.001] was found to be an independent risk factor along with age, diabetes mellitus, systolic pulmonary artery pressure, hemoglobin, hemoglobin, C-reactive protein, albumin, N-terminal brain natriuretic peptide, and systemic immune-inflammation index. The receiver operating characteristic curve showed that the optimal cutoff value of Osaka prognostic score to predict the development of contrast-induced nephropathy was 1.5, with a sensitivity of 83.4 and a specificity of 65.9% [area under the curve: 0.874 (95%CI: 0.850-0.897, p≤0.001)]. CONCLUSION: Osaka prognostic score may be an easily calculable, user-friendly, and useful parameter to predict the development of contrast-induced nephropathy in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention after acute coronary syndromes.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Candidates for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) are currently evaluated using computed tomography angiography and invasive cardiac catheterization as an essential part of case selection and pre-procedure interventional planning. However, both imaging methods utilize iodinated agents, which may cause contrast-induced nephropathy, particularly in patients with baseline renal dysfunction. This study aimed to describe a zero-contrast imaging protocol for pre-TAVI evaluation in patients with advanced renal impairment. METHODS: The pre-TAVI zero-contrast scheme consisted of the following multi-modality combinations: (1) gadolinium-free magnetic resonance imaging (three-dimensional navigator-echo with electrocardiogram-gated steady-state free-precession series); (2) iodinated-free multislice computed tomography electrocardiogram-gated; (3) lower limb arterial duplex scan ultrasound; and (4) transesophageal echocardiography. Ultimately, TAVI was performed for those deemed good candidates, and contrast was allowed during the intervention; however, operators were strongly advised to utilize the least volume possible of iodinated agents. This pilot survey included ten patients with symptomatic aortic stenosis and renal dysfunction who underwent zero-contrast multi-modality imaging. RESULTS: All the patients ultimately underwent TAVI. The intervention was successful in all cases, without ≥ moderate residual aortic regurgitation, prosthesis embolization, annulus rupture, major vascular complications, stroke, or death during index hospitalization. The creatinine clearance remained stable throughout the observation period (baseline: 26.85 ± 12.55 mL/min; after multi-modality imaging: 26.76 ± 11.51 mL/min; post-TAVI at discharge: 29.84 ± 13.98 mL/min; p = 0.3 all). CONCLUSION: The proposed contrast-free imaging protocol appears to be a promising clinical tool for pre-TAVI evaluation in patients with severe renal dysfunction.

BACKGROUND: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is one of the most performed well-succeeded therapeutic procedures worldwide, reducing symptoms and improving quality of life. Neutrophil Gelatinase-associated Lipocalin (NGAL) is a biomarker of acute kidney injury (AKI) produced early after an ischemic renal insult. Osmotic diuresis and the vasoconstriction of the afferent arteriole promoted by Sodium-glucose Cotransporter-2 Inhibitors (SGLT2i) generate a concern regarding the possibility of dehydration and consequent AKI. There is no consensus on the maintenance or discontinuation of SGTL2i in patients who will undergo PCI. This study aimed to evaluate the safety of empagliflozin in diabetic patients submitted to elective PCI regarding kidney function. METHODS: SAFE-PCI trial is a prospective, open-label, randomized (1:1), single-center pilot study and a follow-up of 30 days. The SGLT2i empagliflozin 25 mg daily was initiated at least 15 days before PCI in the intervention group and maintained until the end of the follow-up period. Serum NGAL was collected 6 h after PCI and creatinine before PCI, 24 h, and 48 h after the procedure. As per protocol, both groups received optimal medical treatment and standard protocol of nephroprotection. RESULTS: A total of 42 patients were randomized (22 patients in the iSGLT-2 group and 20 patients in the control group). There was no difference between-group baseline data. The primary outcome (NGAL and creatinine values post PCI) did not differ in both groups: the mean NGAL value was 199 ng/dL in the empagliflozin group and 150 ng/dL in the control group (p = 0.249). Although there was an initial increase in creatinine in the SGLT-2i group compared to the control group between baseline creatinine and pre-PCI and 24 h post-PCI creatinine, no difference was detected in creatinine 48 h post-PCI (p = 0.065). The incidence of CI-AKI, determined by KDIGO criteria, in the iSGLT2-group was 13.6% and 10.0% in the control group without statistical difference. CONCLUSION: The present study showed that the use of empagliflozin is safe regarding kidney function during elective PCI in patients with T2D when compared with no use of SGLT2i. Trial registration Our clinical study is registered on ClinicalTrials.gov with the following number: NCT05037695.
RESUMO
Introduction: SGLT2 inhibitors (SGLT2Is) have demonstrated cardioprotective and nephroprotective effects in patients with and without diabetes. Recent studies suggest that SGLT2Is may reduce the risk of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) in patients with diabetes undergoing coronary arteriography (CAG) or percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). However, the evidence is still inconclusive. We aimed to systematically review the evidence regarding the potential nephroprotective role of SGLT2Is in preventing CIN in this population. Methods: We searched for studies in six databases published up to September 30, 2023, following a PECO/PICO strategy. Initially, we meta-analyzed five studies, but due to several reasons, mainly methodological concerns, we excluded one RCT. In our final meta-analysis, we included four observational studies. Results: This meta-analysis comprised 2,572 patients with diabetes undergoing CAG or PCI, 512 patients treated with SGLT2Is, and 289 events of CIN. This is the first meta-analysis demonstrating that SGLT2Is may reduce the risk of developing CIN by up to 63% (RR 0.37; 95% CI 0.24-0.58) in patients with diabetes undergoing CAG or PCI, compared to not using SGLT2Is. Statistical heterogeneity was not significant (I2 = 0%, p = 0.91). We assessed the certainty of the evidence of this systematic review and meta-analysis, according to the GRADE criteria, as moderate. Conclusion: SGLT2Is significantly reduce the risk of CIN by up to 63% in patients with diabetes undergoing CAG or PCI. Clinical trials are needed; several are already underway, which could confirm our findings and investigate other unresolved issues, such as the optimal dose, type, and duration of SGLT2 inhibitor therapy to prevent CIN. Systematic Review: PROSPERO, identifier CRD42023412892.

Objective: Describe the incidence of contrast-induced acute renal injury (CI-AKI) and the changes in hematocrit in a cohort of patients undergoing elective cerebral digital subtraction angiography (DSA). Methods: In this prospective study, patients undergoing cerebral DSA were assessed for hematocrit level and CI-AKI risk factors before the procedure and for developing CI-AKI 72 h after exposure to the contrast media. Results: Among 215 patients (109 men, mean age 36.6 years). The most frequently found CI-AKI risk factor was hypertension. There were no cases of permanent renal impairment after 14 days. Significant changes were observed in hematocrit (45.7 ± 4.9, vs. 44.5 ± 4.6, p = 0.001), estimated creatinine clearance (129.7 ± 48.3, vs. 123.1 ± 40.5, p = 0.002), and serum creatinine (0.72 ± 0.19, vs 0.74 ± 0.18, p = 0.031). The mean change in serum creatinine 72 h after contrast administration was +0.27 ± 0.10 mg/dL (p < 0.05). Conclusions: The incidence of CI-AKI after elective cerebral DSA was 1.4%. A significant decrease in hematocrit was observed up to 72 h after the procedure.
RESUMO
ABSTRACT Background: The role of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) in preventing the development of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) and whether there is a difference between the results of applications of RIPC to the upper or lower extremities has not been adequately demonstrated. Methods: We included the patients who underwent coronary angiography due to stable angina pectoris in this single center, randomized, pilot study. We randomly enrolled a total of 168 patients in one of three groups (60 patients in the upper limb RIPC group, 58 patients in the lower limb RIPC group, and 50 patients in the control group). Results: According to the Acute Kidney Injury Network (AKIN), CIN did not develop in any RIPC patients and developed in 6% of controls (OR: 3.511, 95% CI: 2.757-4.471, p=0.025). According to the European Society of Urogenital Radiology (ESUR) guidelines, CIN developed in 1.7% of RIPC patients and 8% of controls (p=0.065). It was found that creatinine levels increased in the control group and decreased in the RIPC groups (baseline: 0.81±0.19mg/dL and 0.86±0.25mg/dL and control: 0.76±0.17mg/dL and 0.91±0.36mg/ dL, p <0.001). When the upper and lower limb RIPC results were compared, there was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of CIN. In multivariate analyses we found out that baseline eGFR, baseline mean blood pressure, contrast agent volume, and RIPC were independently associated with the development of CIN. Conclusions: RIPC is a practically useful method in preventing CIN in patients undergoing coronary angiography. Upper or lower-limb RIPC applications seem to have a similar effect.
RESUMEN No se ha demostrado adecuadamente el papel del preacondicionamiento isquémico remoto (RIPC) en la prevención del desarrollo de nefropatía inducida por contraste (NIC) y si existe una diferencia entre los resultados de las aplicaciones de RIPC en las extremidades superiores o inferiores. Se incluyó a los pacientes sometidos a coronariografía por angina de pecho estable en este estudio piloto, aleatorizado, unicéntrico. Inscribimos al azar a un total de 168 pacientes en uno de los tres grupos (60 pacientes en el grupo de RIPC de miembros superiores, 58 pacientes en el grupo de RIPC de miembros inferiores, 50 pacientes en el grupo de control). De acuerdo con la Acute Kidney Injury Network (AKIN), NIC no se desarrolló en ningún paciente con RIPC y se desarrolló en el 6% de los controles (OR: 3,511, IC del 95%: 2,757-4,471, p = 0,025). Según las directrices de la Sociedad Europea de Radiología Urogenital (ESUR), la NIC se desarrolló en el 1,7% de los pacientes con RIPC y en el 8% de los controles (p = 0,065). Se encontró que los niveles de creatinina aumentaron en el grupo de control y disminuyeron en los grupos de RIPC (línea de base: 0,81 ± 0,19 mg / dL y 0,86 ± 0,25 mg / dL y control: 0,76 ± 0,17 mg / dL y 0,91 ± 0,36 mg / dL, p <0,001). Cuando se compararon los resultados de RIPC de miembros superiores e inferiores, no hubo diferencias estadísticamente significativas en la incidencia de NIC. En análisis multivariado descubrimos que la TFGe basal, la presión arterial media basal, el volumen del agente de contraste y la RIPC se asociaron de forma independiente con el desarrollo de NIC. La RIPC es un método prácticamente útil en la prevención de NIC en pacientes sometidos a coronariografía. Las aplicaciones de RIPC de miembros superiores o inferiores parecen tener un efecto similar.
RESUMO
Although previous studies have indicated that statin therapy can effectively prevent the development of CIN, this observation remains controversial, especially in high-risk patients. A meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the efficacy of statin pretreatment for preventing the development of CIN in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and to determine its effectiveness in various subgroups. We searched the online databases PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library. RCTs that involved the comparison of the short-term moderate or high-dose statin pretreatment with placebo for CIN prevention in CKD patients undergoing angiography were included. The primary outcome was CIN prevalence. Seven RCTs comprising 4256 participants were investigated in this analysis. The risk of developing CIN in patients pretreated with statins was significantly lower than that in patients pretreated with placebo (RR=0.57, 95%CI=0.43-0.76, p=0.000). The SCr values of the statin group, when analyzed 48h after angiography were lower than those of the placebo group ((SMD=-0.15, 95% CI=-0.27 to -0.04, p=0.011). In the subgroup analysis, statin pretreatment could decrease the risk of CIN in CKD patients with DM (RR=0.54, 95% CI=0.39-0.76, p=0.000), but not in CKD patients without DM (RR=0.84, 95% CI=0.44-1.60, p=0.606). The efficacy of atorvastatin for preventing CIN was consistent with that observed with the use of rosuvastatin. The risk ratios (RR) were 0.51 (95% CI=0.32-0.81, p=0.004) and 0.60 (95% CI=0.41-0.88, p=0.009), respectively. Our study demonstrated that statin pretreatment could prevent the development of CIN in CKD patients. However, subgroup analysis demonstrated that statin pretreatment, despite being effective in preventing CIN in patients with CKD and DM, was not helpful for CKD patients without DM. Rosuvastatin and atorvastatin exhibited similar preventive effects with respect to CIN.

BACKGROUND: Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) following a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the third most common cause of acute kidney injury (AKI) worldwide. Patients who require hemodialysis secondary to CIN have an elevated mortality rate as high as 55%. The current definition of CIN is based on an elevation of creatinine and decrease in urinary output. Creatinine typically increases 48 h after the contrast exposure, which delays the diagnosis and treatment of CIN. The neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin (NGAL) has emerged as a sensitive and specific biomarker of renal injury. Limited data exists about the effectiveness of NGAL to predict CIN in high-risk patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) that underwent PCI. The primary aim of this study was to determine the association of serum NGAL levels and the need for hemodialysis after PCI. METHODS: This is a prospective, observational study. NGAL levels were measured using ELISA. Blood samples were obtained within the first 6 h of hospital admission, and 12 and 24 h after contrast exposure from angiography. The primary outcome was the requirement of hemodialysis. The non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test was used to test for differences in median serum levels of NGAL. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was developed to assess the accuracy of NGAL to predict the need for hemodialysis after PCI. RESULTS: A total of 2875 were screened; however, 45 patients with ACS that underwent PCI were included. All patients were at high risk of developing CIN defined by Mehran score > 11 points. The median (IQR) serum concentration of NGAL was significantly higher in patients that required versus did not require hemodialysis (340 [83-384] vs. 169 [100-210], p = 0.01). Elevated serum levels of NGAL with a cut-off at 6 h post PCI of 281 mg/dL predicted the need for hemodialysis with an area under the curve of 0.86 (95% CI, 0.66-1.00). CONCLUSIONS: In patients with ACS undergoing PCI; and high risk of developing CIN, an elevated serum level of NGAL 6 h after contrast exposure predicts the development of acute kidney injury requiring hemodialysis.

SUMMARY BACKGROUND: The AnTicoagulation and Risk factors In Atrial fibrillation (ATRIA) risk score used to detect the thromboembolic and hemorrhagic risk in atrial fibrillation patients has been shown recently to predict poor clinical outcomes in patients with acute myocardial infarction (ACS), regardless of having atrial fibrillation (AF). We aimed to analyze the relationship between different risk scores and contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) development in patients with ACS who underwent urgent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and compare the predictive ability of the ATRIA risk score with the MEHRAN risk score. METHODS: We analyzed 429 patients having St-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) who underwent urgent PCI between January 2016 and February 2017. Patients were divided into two groups: those with and those without CIN and both groups were compared according to clinical, laboratory, and demographic features, including the CHA2DS2-VASc and ATRIA risk score. Predictors of CIN were determined by multivariate regression analysis. Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve analysis was used to analyze the prognostic value of CHA2DS2-VASc and ATRIA risk score for CIN, following STEMI. RESULTS: Multivariate regression analysis showed that Athe TRIA risk score, Opaque/Creatinine Clearance ratio, and low left ventricular ejection fraction was an independent predictor of CIN. The C-statistics for the ATRIA risk score and CHA2DS2-VASC risk score were 0.66 and 0.64 (p<0.001, and p<0.001), respectively. A pair-wise comparison of ROC curves showed that both scores were not inferior to the MEHRAN score in predicting CIN. CONCLUSION: The ATRIA and CHA2DS2-VASC scoring systems were useful for detecting CIN following STEMI.
RESUMO OBJETIVO: O escore Anticoagulação e Fatores de Risco na Fibrilação Atrial (Atria), usado na detecção do risco tromboembólico e hemorrágico de pacientes com fibrilação atrial (FA), recentemente demonstrou predizer resultados clínicos ruins em pacientes com infarto agudo do miocárdio (SCA), independentemente de ter FA. Nosso objetivo foi analisar a relação entre os diferentes escores de risco e o desenvolvimento de nefropatia induzida por contraste (NIC) em pacientes com SCA submetidos à intervenção coronária percutânea (ICP) urgente e comparar a capacidade preditiva do escore de risco Atria com o escore de risco Mehran. MÉTODOS: Foram analisados 429 pacientes com infarto agudo do miocárdio com elevação do segmento ST (IAM-ST) submetidos à ICP de urgência entre janeiro de 2016 e fevereiro de 2017. Os pacientes foram divididos em dois grupos: aqueles com e sem NIC, e ambos os grupos foram comparados de acordo com as características clínicas, laboratoriais e demográficas, incluindo os escores de risco CHA2DS2-VASc e Atria. Preditores de NIC foram determinados por análise de regressão multivariada. A análise da curva características de operação do receptor (ROC) foi utilizada para analisar o valor prognóstico dos escores de risco CHA2DS2-VASc e Atria para NIC, após IAM-ST. RESULTADOS: A análise de regressão multivariada mostrou que o escore de risco Atria, a relação opaca/crCl e a baixa fração de ejeção do ventrículo esquerdo foram preditores independentes de NIC. A estatística-C para o escore de risco Atria e o escore de risco CHA2DS2-VASC foi de 0,66 e 0,64 (p<0,001 e p<0,001), respectivamente. Uma comparação de pares de curvas características de operação do receptor mostrou que ambos os escores foram não inferiores ao escore Mehran na previsão de NIC. CONCLUSÃO: Os sistemas de pontuação Atria e CHA2DS2-VASC foram sistemas úteis para a detecção de NIC após IAM-ST.

Silymarin, an extract from Silybum marianum (milk thistle) containing a standardized mixture of flavonolignans that ameliorates some types of liver disease and, more recently, kidney damage, could be used for the ROS-scavenging effect of these antioxidants. Furthermore, contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is an iatrogenic impairment of renal function in patients subjected to angiographic procedures for which there is not yet a successful preventative treatment. Recent evidence has shown that this event is related to tubular/vascular injury activated mainly by oxidative stress. However, whether this bioavailable and pharmacologically safe extract protects against CIN is not clear. We proposed to evaluate the possible protective role of the antioxidant silymarin in an experimental model of CIN. Adult male Swiss mice were separated into 6 groups and pretreated orally with silymarin (50, 200 and 300â¯mg/kg), N-acetylcysteine (200â¯mg/kg) or vehicle for 5â¯days before the CIN and control groups. Renal function was analyzed by plasma creatinine, urea and cystatin C levels. Additionally, blood reactive oxygen species (ROS) were evaluated using ROS bioavailability, protein oxidation and DNA damage. Renal oxidative damage was evaluated using apoptosis/cell viability assays and histological analysis. We showed that silymarin preserved renal function and decreased systemic and renal oxidative damage (antigenotoxic and antiapoptotic properties, respectively) in a dose-dependent manner and was superior to conventional treatment with N-acetylcysteine. Histologically, silymarin treatment also had beneficial effects on renal glomerular and tubular injuries. Therefore, silymarin prophylaxis may be an interesting strategy for the prevention of CIN.

Abstract: Contrast induced nephropathy (CIN) is defined as the absolute increment of serum creatinine ≥ 0.5 mg/dL or an increment more than 25% of basal creatinine, without any other identified cause, within 48 hours after contrast media administration. Objective: Determine the CIN risk in patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) with or without metabolic syndrome (MetS) treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Material and methods: A prospective, observational, longitudinal and comparative study, in patients with ACS admitted to the Coronary Care Unit or Intensive Care Unit. PCI was performed with a serum creatinine (sCr) of ≤ 1.2 mg/dL prior intervention. Serum creatinine determinations were conducted 24-48 hours post PCI. The statistical test for analysis of free distribution quantitative variables was performed with Mann Whitney U test, and for qualitative variables Chi square test (χ2). Likelihood-ratio and confidence interval of 95% with p = 0.05. Results: 420 patients with infarction code were studied, 323 men (76.9%), 97 women (23.1%), with ages between 56-70 years. They were divided into 2 groups: group A 176 (41.9%) with MetS and group B 244 (58%) without MetS. CIN was present in 43 patients (10.2%) group A and in 29 (6.9%) group B. RR: 2.05, CI 95% 1.33-3.15, p = 0.0012. Conclusions: MetS is a risk factor (RF) for the development of CIN in patients with ACS who undergo PCI. Therefore, this syndrome should be kept in mind for an early detection and prevention of the development of CIN.
Resumen: La nefropatía inducida por contraste (NIC) se define como el incremento absoluto de creatinina sérica ≥ 0.5 mg/dL o un incremento del 25% de la creatinina basal, sin otra causa identificada, en un periodo de 48 horas posterior a la exposición al medio de contraste. Objetivo: Determinar el riesgo de NIC en pacientes con síndrome coronario agudo (SCA) con y sin síndrome metabólico (SM) tratados con intervencionismo coronario percutáneo (ICP). Material y métodos: Estudio prospectivo, observacional, longitudinal, comparativo, en pacientes con SCA admitidos a la Unidad de Cuidados Coronarios o a la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos. La ICP fue realizada con creatinina sérica (Crs) previa ≤ 1.2 mg/dL. Las determinaciones de creatinina sérica se efectuaron 24-48 horas postICP. Para el análisis de las variables cuantitativas se utilizó la prueba de U de Mann-Whitney y para variables cualitativas, prueba de Chi cuadrada (χ2) con nivel de significancia e intervalos de confianza del 95% con p = 0.05. Resultados: 420 pacientes de código infarto fueron estudiados, 323 hombres (76.9%), 97 mujeres (23.1%) con edades de 56 a 70 años. Se dividieron en dos grupos: grupo A 176 (41.9%) con SM, grupo B, 244 (58%) sin SM. Se presentó NIC en 43 pacientes (10.2%) del grupo A y en 29 (6.9%) del grupo B. RR: 2.05, IC 95% 1.33-3.15, p = 0.0012. Conclusiones: El SM es un factor de riesgo (FR) para desarrollar NIC en pacientes con SCA sometidos a ICP. Por lo tanto, debe tenerse en cuenta para la detección temprana y prevención de NIC.
RESUMO
Intra-arterial digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is commonly used for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI). The aim of this study was to analyze the incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) in patients with CLI and to assess their outcomes. Between May 2013 and May 2014, a prospective and observational study was conducted with 107 patients admitted exclusively for CLI treatment. The main outcomes included hemodialysis independence (HI) and overall survival (OS), as assessed by Kaplan-Meier curves. Overall, there was a predominance of males (57%), with a mean age of 70.5 (10.7) years. The incidence of CIN was 35.5%, and chronic kidney failure was the only factor associated with elevated risk of this condition (relative risk [RR] = 1.9; 95% confidence interval = 1.17-3.09; P = .017). The median follow-up was 645 days, and in 720-day analyses, patients who experienced CIN had worse HI (81.2% vs 96.3%; P = .0107) and OS (49.5% vs 66.3%; P = .0463). The current study found a high incidence of CIN in patients with CLI after DSA. This renal impairment was associated with a worse prognosis in terms of survival.

Abstract: Introduction: Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is defined as the impairment of renal function and is measured as either a 25% increase in serum creatinine (SCr) from baseline or 0.5 mg/dL increase in absolute value, within 48-72 hours of intravenous contrast administration. Objectives: Objectives were to calculate incidence of CIN and to describe the clinical and periprocedural risk factors for patients receiving contrast media. Secondary objective was to compare mortality between group 1 and group 2. Material and methods: In a retrospective, observational, descriptive cohort study, patients who were admitted to the hospital for diagnostic and/or therapeutic coronary angiography between January 2014 to September 2015, the serum creatinine and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) prior to angiography and 72 hours later was measured. Results: 70 patients were included, of which 14.2% developed CIN. The leading risk factors for developing AKI were: age > 65 years (OR 12.6, CI95 1.6-105.9, p = 0.03); the presence of anemia (OR 7.5, CI95 1.8-31.2, p = 0.006); and procedural time more than 90 minutes (OR 16, CI95 3.1-85.3, p = 0.001). Higher mortality was observed in the NIC group (30% vs. 1.6%, p = 0.004). Conclusions: The incidence is higher than in the literature review. The leading associated risk factors were age > 65, anemia and procedural time > 90 minutes. The development of CIN carries a higher mortality.
Resumen: Introducción: Se define como nefropatía inducida por medio de contraste (NIC) a un aumento absoluto de la creatinina sérica mayor a 0.5 mg/dL o un aumento relativo de la creatinina sérica mayor al 25%, 48-72 horas posteriores a la exposición al medio de contraste en comparación con los niveles previos después de haber excluido otras causas de lesión renal aguda (LRA). Objetivo: Determinar la incidencia de NIC y analizar los factores de riesgo asociados en los pacientes que desarrollaron LRA posterior a un procedimiento de angiografía coronaria. Se determinó mortalidad entre ambos grupos como objetivo secundario. Material y métodos: Se realizó un estudio de cohortes, observacional, descriptivo y retroelectivo. Se analizaron los pacientes que ingresaron en enero de 2014 a septiembre de 2015, para angiografía coronaria diagnostica y/o terapéutica. Se determinó la creatinina sérica y tasa de filtración glomerular (TFG) previa a la angiografía y 72 horas; además se identificaron los factores de riesgo asociados al desarrollo de NIC. Resultados: Se incluyeron 70 pacientes, de los cuales 14.2% desarrollaron NIC. Los factores de riesgo predictores más importantes para desarrollar FRA fueron la edad > 65 años (OR 12.6; IC95 1.6-105.9, p = 0.03); la presencia de anemia (OR 7.5; IC95 1.8-31.2, p = 0.006); y una duración de procedimiento mayor a 90 minutos (OR 16; IC95 3.1-85.3, p = 0.001). Se observó mayor mortalidad en el grupo NIC (30 versus 1.6%, p = 0.004). Conclusiones: La incidencia reportada es mayor que la literatura. Los factores de riesgo asociados más importantes fueron la edad > 65, anemia y procedimiento > 90 minutos. El desarrollo de NIC conlleva una mayor mortalidad.
RESUMO
Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is an iatrogenic medical event in stable cardiology patients that may lead to acute renal failure. There is no current successful therapy to manage CIN. Increasing evidence in experimental models and humans has suggested that this disease is associated with renal tubular and vascular injury triggered by oxidative stress. Considering the importance of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation in the pathogenesis of CIN, the goal of the present study was to evaluate the effects of sildenafil on CIN development. Male Wistar rats were divided into control, CIN, and CIN pretreated with sildenafil (50 mg/kg/day). CIN was induced by water deprivation, NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester + indomethacin injections (10 mg/kg, intraperitoneally) and intravenous iohexol administration (3 g/kg). Renal function was evaluated through glomerular filtration rate (GFR), renal blood flow (RBF), plasma creatinine, uremia, and proteinuria. Oxidative stress was assessed by flow cytometry for intracellular ROS. Treatment with sildenafil attenuated the marked reduction of GFR and RBF in the CIN group. Moreover, sildenafil treatment in CIN rats reduced plasma creatinine, uremia, and proteinuria. Flow cytometry demonstrated that sildenafil attenuated the ROS production in the CIN group. These data suggest that sildenafil may be a new therapeutic agent to prevent CIN through its ability to preserve renal function and attenuate oxidative stress.
RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Contrast-induced nephropathy is one of the main causes of acute kidney injury and increased hospital-acquired morbidity and mortality. The use of sodium bicarbonate for nephroprotection has emerged as a preventative strategy; however, its efficacy is controversial compared to other strategies, such as hydration using 0.9% saline solution. OBJECTIVE: To compare the effectiveness of sodium bicarbonate vs. hydration using 0.9% saline solution to prevent contrast-induced acute kidney injury. METHODS: A systematic review of studies registered in the COCHRANE, PUBMED, MEDLINE, LILACS, SCIELO and EMBASE databases was conducted. Randomized controlled studies that evaluated the use of 0.9% saline solution vs. sodium bicarbonate to prevent contrast-induced nephropathy were included. RESULTS: A total of 22 studies (5,686 patients) were included. Sodium bicarbonate did not decrease the risk of contrast-induced nephropathy (RD= 0.00; 95% CI= -0.02 to 0.03; p= 0.83; I(2)= 0%). No significant differences were found in the demand for renal replacement therapy (RD= 0.00; 95% CI= -0.01 to 0-01; I(2)= 0%; p= 0.99) or in mortality (RD= -0.00; 95% CI= -0.001 to 0.001; I(2)= 0%; p= 0.51). CONCLUSIONS: Sodium bicarbonate administration is not superior to the use of 0.9% saline solution for preventing contrast-induced nephropathy in patients with risk factors, nor is it better at reducing mortality or the need for renal replacement therapy.

BACKGROUND: Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is a complex syndrome of acute nephropathy that occurs following infusion of intravascular contrast agents, and is associated with an increased risk for adverse cardiovascular events. While there is no ideal biomarker for making an early diagnosis of CIN, we hypothesized that levels of specific circulating microRNA (miRNA) species might serve such a role. METHODS: miRNA microarray assays were used to detect miRNAs in the kidney tissue of rats studied as an animal model of CIN. Real-time PCR was performed to validate results of the microarray assays. Kidney-enriched miRNAs detected in rat plasma were used as biomarkers to screen for CIN. Results obtained from the rat model of CIN were further validated in human patients with CIN. RESULTS: Fifty-one miRNAs were aberrantly expressed in the kidney tissues between CIN and control rats; and among these, 17 miRNAs showed a >2-fold change of expression in the kidney tissues of CIN rats when compared with their expressions in non-CIN control rats. Among the 17 miRNAs aberrantly-expressed miRNAs screened from kidney tissue, only six also showed significantly different expression in the plasma of CIN rats. When compared with their levels in non-CIN control rats, the levels of three miR-30 family members (miR-30a, miR-30c, and miR-30e), as well as miR-320, were significantly increased in the plasma of CIN rats, while the plasma levels of miRNAs let-7a and miR-200a were significantly decreased. In a validation study of these results conducted with human plasma samples, only miR-30a, miR-30c, and miR-30e showed > 2-fold increases in CIN patients when compared with non-CIN patients. Receiver operating curves constructed to examine the abilities of miR-30a, miR-30c, and miR-30e to discriminate CIN patients from non-CIN patients showed AUCs of 0.954, 0.888, and 0.835, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Our study provides the first evidence that plasma miRNAs, and especially three miR-30 family members (miR-30a, miR-30c, and miR-30e), might serve as early biomarkers and (or) target candidates for CIN.

Coronary angiography can be a high-risk condition for the incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) in elderly patients. Reduced glutathione, under a variety of mechanisms, may prevent CIN in this procedure. We prospectively examined whether hydration with reduced glutathione is superior to hydration alone for prevention of CIN in an elderly Han Chinese population. A total of 505 patients (271 males and 234 females) aged 75 years or older who underwent non-emergency coronary angiography or an intervention were randomly divided into two groups. The treatment group received hydration with reduced glutathione (n=262) and the control group received hydration alone (n=243). Serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen levels were measured prior to coronary angiography and 48 h after this procedure. The primary endpoint was occurrence of CIN, which was defined as 25% or 44.2 µmol/L above baseline serum creatinine levels 48 h after the procedure. The overall incidence of CIN was 6.49% in the treatment group and 7.41% in the control group, with no significant difference between the groups (P=0.68). In subgroup analysis by percutaneous coronary intervention, no significant differences were found between the two groups. In summary, reduced glutathione added to optimal hydration does not further decrease the risk of CIN in elderly patients undergoing coronary angiography or an intervention.

Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is a common event in hospitals, with reported incidences ranging from 1 to 30%. Patients with underlying kidney disease have an increased risk of developing CIN. Point-of-care (POC) creatinine devices are handheld devices capable of providing quantitative data on a patient's kidney function that could be useful in stratifying preventive measures. This overview aims to synthesize the current evidence on diagnostic accuracy and clinical utility of POC creatinine devices in detecting patients at risk of CIN. Five databases were searched for diagnostic accuracy studies or clinical trials that evaluated the usefulness of POC devices in detecting patients at risk of CIN. Selected articles were critically appraised to assess their individual risk of bias by the use of standard criteria; 13 studies were found that addressed the diagnostic accuracy or clinical utility of POC creatinine devices. Most studies incurred a moderate to high risk of bias. Overall concordance between POC devices and reference standards (clinical laboratory procedures) was found to be moderate, with 95% limits of agreement often lying between -35.4 and +35.4 µmol/L (-0.4 and +0.4 mg/dL). Concordance was shown to decrease with worsening kidney function. Data on the clinical utility of these devices were limited, but a significant reduction in time to diagnosis was reported in two studies. Overall, POC creatinine devices showed a moderate concordance with standard clinical laboratory creatinine measurements. Several biases could have induced optimism in these estimations. Results obtained from these devices may be unreliable in cases of severe kidney failure. Randomized trials are needed to address the clinical utility of these devices.

OBJETIVO: A nefropatia por contraste é a terceira causa de insuficiência renal aguda em pacientes hospitalizados. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a ação da n-acetilcisteína e do alopurinol na proteção renal em ratos de ambos os sexos que receberam diatrizoato. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Ratos Wistar adultos jovens, uninefrectomizados e submetidos a restrição hídrica, receberam solução salina (grupo 1: machos; grupo 2: fêmeas), diatrizoato (grupo 3: machos; grupo 4: fêmeas), diatrizoato e n-acetilcisteína (grupo 5: machos), diatrizoato e alopurinol (grupo 6: machos) e diatrizoato e n-acetilcisteína + alopurinol (grupo 7: machos). A filtração glomerular foi avaliada pela creatinina. O teste t de Student e o teste do sinal foram utilizados para análises estatísticas. RESULTADOS: Ratos que receberam diatrizoato apresentaram elevação estatisticamente significante da creatinina sérica, quando comparados aos controles, porém não houve diferença entre os sexos. Os animais que receberam alopurinol não mostraram aumento significante da creatinina, enquanto a administração de n-acetilcisteína não impediu a elevação da creatinina. CONCLUSÃO: O alopurinol mostrou-se mais efetivo que a n-acetilcisteína na proteção funcional renal ao dano induzido pelo diatrizoato de sódio. Não houve diferença entre os sexos na intensidade do dano renal pelo diatrizoato de sódio.
OBJECTIVE: Contrast medium-induced nephropathy is the third most frequent cause of iatrogenic acute renal failure involving inpatients. The present study was aimed at evaluating the protective effect of n-acetylcysteine and allopurinol in both male and female rats receiving diatrizoate. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty-five young adult Wistar rats submitted to hydric restriction were divided into groups as follows: groups 1 and 2 (respectively male and female rats) receiving saline solution; groups 3 and 4 (respectively male and female rats) receiving diatrizoate; group 5 (male rats) receiving diatrizoate and n-acetylcysteine; group 6 (male rats) receiving diatrizoate and allopurinol; and group 7 (male rats) receiving diatrizoate and n-acetylcysteine + allopurinol. The glomerular filtration was evaluated by measurement of creatinine clearance. Student's t-test and the test of signal were utilized for statistical analysis. RESULTS: Animal models receiving allopurinol did not present a significant increase in the creatinine levels, while n-acetylcysteine did not prevent the creatinine levels increase. CONCLUSION: Allopurinol has shown to be more effective than n-acetylcysteine in the renal function protection against sodium diatrizoate-induced damages. No difference has been found between male and female groups as regards the intensity of sodium diatrizoate-induced renal damages.
