Low level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol predicts contrast induced-acute kidney injury after percutaneous coronary interventions in patients with coronary heart disease / 中华急诊医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the relationship of low level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol to contrast induced-acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with coronary heart disease.Methods A total of 1500 consecutive patients,who underwent PCI from January 2009 to May 2011,were enrolled in this study.There was no limit on age or sex,and all patients were self-identified as Han ethnic group.Patients were excluded from this study,however,if they had a history of malignant tumor,urinary tract infection,nephrectomy operation,chronic peritoneal or hemodialysis,or if they had been exposed to contrast media within the past 14 days.CI-AKI was defined as an absolute increase in serum creatinine ≥44.2 μmol/L or a relative ≥25％ increase in serum creatinine within 72 hours after procedure.Low level of HDL-C was defined as ＜ 1.04 mmol/L.Monofactorial and multivariate analysis was performed to identify risk factors for CI-AKI and low level of HDL-C in these patients.Results Among the 1500 patients with coronary heart disease,CI-AKI occurred in 246 patients after PCI and the overall incidence of CI-AKI was 16.4％.The patients with low level of HDL-C had a higher incidence of CI-AKI than those without it (21.5％ vs.13.3％ in total,P ＜0.01),no matter that they had suffered from chronic kidney disease (39.8％ vs.26.5％,P ＜ 0.05) or not (17.7％ vs.9.7％,P ＜ 0.01).By multivariate analysis,low level of HDL-C was identified as an independent risk factor for CI-AKI and smoke,great BMI as well as anemia were considered as prediction factors for low level of HDL-C.Conclusion The patients with low level of HDL-C have a higher incidence of CI-AKI after PCI.Low level of HDL-C is one of risk factors for CI-AKI after PCI in patients either with chronic kidney disease or not.Great BMI,smoking as well as anemia are independent predictors for low HDL-C level in these patients.
