Background and Purpose: Clinical outcome and mortality after endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) in patients with ischemic stroke are commonly assessed after 3 months. In patients with acute kidney injury (AKI), unfavorable results for 3-month mortality have been reported. However, data on the in-hospital mortality after EVT in this population are sparse. In the present study, we assessed whether AKI impacts in-hospital and 3-month mortality in patients undergoing EVT.Materials and Methods: From a prospectively recruiting database, consecutive acute ischemic stroke patients receiving EVT between 2010 and 2018 due to acute large vessel occlusion were included. Post-contrast AKI (PC-AKI) was defined as an increase of baseline creatinine of ≥0.5 mg/dL or >25% within 48 h after the first measurement at admission. Adjusting for potential confounders, associations between PC-AKI and mortality after stroke were tested in univariate and multivariate logistic regression models.Results: One thousand one hundred sixty-nine patients were included; 166 of them (14.2%) died during the acute hospital stay. Criteria for PC-AKI were met by 29 patients (2.5%). Presence of PC-AKI was associated with a significantly higher risk of in-hospital mortality in multivariate analysis [odds ratio (OR) = 2.87, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.16–7.13, p = 0.023]. Furthermore, factors associated with in-hospital mortality encompassed higher age (OR = 1.03, 95% CI = 1.01–1.04, p = 0.002), stroke severity (OR = 1.05, 95% CI = 1.03–1.08, p < 0.001), symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (OR = 3.20, 95% CI = 1.69–6.04, p < 0.001), posterior circulation stroke (OR = 2.85, 95% CI = 1.72–4.71, p < 0.001), and failed recanalization (OR = 2.00, 95% CI = 1.35–3.00, p = 0.001).Conclusion: PC-AKI is rare after EVT but represents an important risk factor for in-hospital mortality and for mortality within 3 months after hospital discharge. Preventing PC-AKI after EVT may represent an important and potentially lifesaving effort in future daily clinical practice.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) symptoms may mimic coronary artery disease (CAD) which reflects the difficulties in qualifying AF patients for invasive diagnostics. A substantial number of coronary angiographies may be unnecessary or even put patients at risk of post-contrast acute kidney injury (PC-AKI), especially patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). We aimed to investigate the hypothesis indicating higher prevalence of PC-AKI in patients with AF scheduled for coronary angiography. The study population comprised of 8026 patients referred for elective coronarography including 1621 with AF. In the comparison of prevalence of PC-AKI in distinguished groups we can see that kidney impairment was twice more frequent in patients with AF in both groups with CKD (CKD (+)/AF (+) 6.24% vs. CKD (+)/AF (−) 3.04%) and without CKD (CKD (−)/AF (+) 2.32% vs. CKD (−)/AF (−) 1.22%). In our study, post-contrast acute kidney disease is twice more frequent in patients with AF, especially in subgroup with chronic kidney disease scheduled for coronary angiography. Additionally, having in mind results of previous studies stating that AF is associated with non-obstructive coronary lesions on angiography, patients with AF and CKD may be unnecessarily exposed to contrast agent and possible complications.

Abstract Background The objective of this study is to evaluate oral hydration compared to intravenous (i.v.) hydration in the prevention of post-contrast acute kidney injury (PC-AKI) in the oncologic subgroup of patients with stage IIIb chronic kidney disease (CKD) included in the NICIR study referred for elective contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CE-CT). Material and Methods We performed a retrospective subanalysis of the oncological subgroup (174/228 patients, 74%) from a continuous prospective database of patients included in the recently published non-inferiority NICIR study. Patients received prophylaxis against PC-AKI with either oral hydration (500 mL of water two hours before and 2000 mL during the 24 hours after CE-CT) or i.v. hydration (sodium bicarbonate (166 mmol/L)3 mL/kg/h starting one hour before and 1 mL/kg/h during the first hour after CE-CT). The primary outcome was to compare the proportion of PC-AKI in the first 48 to 72 hours after CE-CT in the two hydration groups. Secondary outcomes were to compare persistent PC-AKI, the need for hemodialysis, and the occurrence of adverse events related to prophylaxis in each group. Results Of 174 patients included in the subanalysis, 82 received oral hydration and 92 received i.v. hydration. There were no significant differences in clinical characteristics or risk factors between the two study arms. Overall the PC-AKI rate was 4.6% (8/174 patients), being 3.7% in the oral hydration arm (3/82 patients) and 5.4% (5/92 patients) in the i.v. hydration arm. The persistent PC-AKI rate was 1.8% (1/82 patients) in the oral hydration arm and 3.3% (3/92 patients) in the i.v. hydration arm. No patient required dialysis during the first month after CE-CT or had adverse effects related to the hydration regime. Conclusion In oncological patients with stage IIIb CKD referred for elective CE-CT, the rate of PC-AKI in those receiving oral hydration did not significantly differ from that of patients receiving i.v. hydration.

Background and Aims: ACEF score is simple risk score which uses only three parameters for predicting mortality and postcontrast acute kidney injury (PC-AKI). This study was designed to look into various risk factors and ACEF score for patients undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI). Methods: This is single-centre, observational, cross-sectional study. The patients were divided into tertiles.Bivariate analysis of various risk factors and ACEF score was done for PC-AKI as well as In-hospital and 30-day mortality. Results: Total 257 patients were included.The total mortality among PCI patients were low: In-hospital (0.8%) and 30-day (1.9%). The risk factor for increased mortality were higher Killip class and reduced Ejection Fraction (EF). PCAKI occurred in one-fifth. The risk factors for PC-AKI were increasing age, higher Killip class, diabetes, reduced EF, emergency PCI procedure and higher contrast volume. Hydration with NS was protective against PC-AKI. Mean ACEF score was higher among those who died within 30 days (p=0.35) and who developed PC-AKI (p<0.001). ACEF-low had trend toward better outcome with no mortality (p=0.17) and had low risk of PC-AKI (p=0.026). ACEF-moderate had reduced risk of PC-AKI (p=0.029), however was not associated with increased odds of 30-day mortality (p=0.66). ACEF-high showed significantly increased odds of mortality (p=0.04) and PC-AKI (p<0.001). Discriminatory capacity of ACEF score to detect 30-day mortality was good (AUC 0.82, p= 0.016) and goodness of fit=0.70. Discriminatory capacity of ACEF score to detect PC-AKI was fair (AUC 0.7, p<0.001) and goodness of fit=0.62. Conclusions: ACEF score fairly predicts the short-term mortality and PC-AKI in patients undergoing PCI.
