Abstract
Background and Aims
Contrast-induced nephropathy is a potentially serious complication following coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention .
The association between severity of anemia and Contrast-induced nephropathy following coronary angiography is not well-established. In this prospective study, we aimed at assessing the association of anemia of various severity with the risk of Contrast-induced nephropathy in patients who underwent coronary angiography
Method
We prospectively enrolled 158 patients who underwent coronary angiography with or without percutaneous coronary intervention from December 2017 to February 2018 at a cardiology department .
CIN was defined as an increase in serum creatinine level >25% or 0.5 mg/dL after 48 hours and anemia was defined as a value of Hb level ≤ 13 g/dl in male patients or ≤ 12 g/dl in female patients.
Patients were stratified into three subgroups—mild (11.1 to 13.0 g/dL) in male patients and (11.1 to 12.0 g/dL) in female patients, moderate (9.1 to 11.0 g/dL) and severe anemia (7.0 to 9.0 g/dL).
we used a multivariable logistic-regression model.
Results
158 patients (females = 36.1%, mean age 60.0 ± 11 years) who underwent coronary angiography, 15 (9,5%) developed Contrast-induced nephropathy .
Presence of anemia was associated with increased risk of developing Contrast-induced nephropathy (OR = 3.04, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.03 to 8.96, p= 0,043).
Risk of Contrast-induced nephropathy was increasingly higher with increasing severity of the anemia; mild (OR = 1.67, 95% CI = 1.38 to 2.17, p=0,036), moderate (OR = 3.3, 95% CI = 0.61 to 10.6, p=0,028) .There was no patient with severe anemia.
Conclusion
In conclusion, severity of anemia is a strong predictor of CIN following coronary angiography.
