Abstract Introduction Acute kidney injury is a common complication of percutaneous coronary intervention and has been associated with an increased risk of death and progressive chronic kidney disease. However, whether the timing of acute kidney injury after urgent percutaneous coronary intervention could be used to improve patient risk stratification is not known. Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort study in adults surviving an urgent percutaneous coronary intervention between 2008 and 2013 within Kaiser Permanente Northern California, a large integrated healthcare delivery system, to evaluate the impact of acute kidney injury during hospitalization at 12 (±6), 24 (±6) and 48 (±6) hours after urgent percutaneous coronary intervention and subsequent risks of adverse outcomes within the first year after discharge. We used multivariable Cox proportional hazards models with adjustment for a high-dimensional propensity score for developing acute kidney injury after percutaneous coronary intervention to examine the associations between acute kidney injury timing and all-cause death and worsening chronic kidney disease. Results Among 7250 eligible adults undergoing urgent percutaneous coronary intervention, 306 (4.2%) had acute kidney injury at one or more of the examined time periods after percutaneous coronary intervention. After adjustment, acute kidney injury at 12 (±6) hours was independently associated with higher risks of death (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 3.55, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.19–5.75) and worsening kidney function (aHR 2.40, 95% CI:1.24–4.63). Similar results were observed for acute kidney injury at 24 (±6) hours and death (aHR 3.90, 95% CI:2.29–6.66) and worsening chronic kidney disease (aHR 4.77, 95% CI:2.46–9.23). Acute kidney injury at 48 (±6) hours was associated with excess mortality (aHR 1.97, 95% CI:1.19–3.26) but was not significantly associated with worsening kidney function (aHR 0.91, 95% CI:0.42–1.98). Conclusions Timing of acute kidney injury after urgent percutaneous coronary intervention may be differentially associated with subsequent risk of worsening kidney function but not death.

Background: Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI), is an important complication of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We aimed to study the role of serum midkine (MK) as an early biomarker of CI-AKI. Methods: We conducted a prospective observational cohort study. It includes 100 chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60 ml/min/1.73m2. All patients were undergoing PCI for ACS. We measured serum midkine before, 2 and 24 hours after PCI.  Results: The mean age of the patients was 70.32±3.62 years, 74% males. Twenty-seven patients developed CI-AKI. The CI-AKI group has a history of diabetes mellitus (DM) and/or dyslipidemia, history of diuretics, metformin and/or angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors/angiotensin-receptor blockers (ACEI/ARBs) use. The CI-AKI patients have low left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (EF < 45%) and low Creatinine Clearance (CrCl) before PCI. The CI-AKI received more contrast volume, had a longer duration of PCI  and had high Mehran risk score after PCI. Comparison between the two studied groups regarding serum MK showed that there was a statistically significant difference regarding serum MK 2 hours after PCI. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis for serum MK showed that serum MK measured 2 hours after PCI was statistically significant to predict CI-AKI. Conclusion: An early Serum MK after PCI can be used as an early predictor of CI-AKI in ACS patients.

Background: The risk of contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) following coronary intervention is particularly high among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Among these patients, baseline neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), a marker of tubular damage, reflects the severity of renal impairment. We evaluated whether the baseline serum NGAL level may be a marker for the development of CI-AKI following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: Eighty-eight CKD patients treated with PCI were included. Serum NGAL levels were drawn upon hospital admission. Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) methods were used to identify the optimal sensitivity and specificity for the observed NGAL level compared with the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) calculated for patients with CI-AKI. Results: Overall CI-AKI incidence was 43%. Baseline serum NGAL levels were significantly higher in patients with CI-AKI than in patients without CI-AKI (150 vs. 103 ng/mL, p < 0.001). According to the ROC curve, baseline NGAL levels performed better than eGFR to predict CI-AKI (AUC 0.753 vs. 0.604), with the optimal cutoff value for baseline NGAL to predict CI-AKI being 127 ng/mL (sensitivity of 68% and specificity of 68%, p < 0.001). In a multivariate logistic regression model, the NGAL level >127 ng/mL ng/mL was independently associated with CI-AKI (HR 9.84, 95% CI: 1.96–40.3; p = 0.01). Conclusion: Baseline serum NGAL levels in CKD patients may identify a high-risk population for CI-AKI following PCI. Further studies on larger populations are required to validate the potential utility of NGAL measurements in monitoring specific CKD-associated conditions.
