The predictive value of renal artery resistance index combined with cystatin C in contrast-induced nephropathy after coronary artery CT angiography / 中国医师进修杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of serum cystatin C (Cys-C) and renal artery resistance index (RRI) 24 h before coronary CT angiography (CTA) examination in contrast-induced nephropathy(CIN).Methods:Sixty-four patients with coronary heart disease who received coronary CTA examination in Hebei Petro China Central Hospital from January 2020 to March 2021 were selected as the research subjects. According to the incidence of CIN after coronary CTA examination, they were divided into the case group (25 patients) and the normal group(39 patients). Serum Cys-C level was measured by automatic biochemical analyzer at 24 h before CTA examination, and RRI value was measured by color Doppler ultrasound. Risk factors of CIN after CTA examination were analyzed by Logistic regression. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to evaluate the predictive value of serum Cys-C, RRI and the combination of the two indexes in CIN.Results:Compared with the control group, the dosage of contrast agent, patients with hypertension, serum Cys-C level at 24 h before CTA examination and RRI value in the case group were higher than those in the normal group (85.53 ± 16.27) ml vs. (64.37 ± 15.08) ml, 80.00%(20/25) vs. 56.41%(22/39), (1.36 ± 0.18)mg/L vs.(1.02 ± 0.21) mg/L, 0.743 ± 0.093 vs. 0.632 ± 0.081, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the amount of contrast agent, hypertension, serum Cys-C level at 24 h before CTA examination and RRI value were independent risk factor for CIN after CTA examination ( P<0.05). The results of ROC curve analysis showed that serum Cys-C (>1.318 mg/L) combined with RRI value (>0.653) at 24 h before CTA examination predicted CIN with the highest area under the curve was 0.922, sensitivity was 92.5% and specificity was 81.6%. Conclusions:The incidence of CIN after CTA is related to the dosage of contrastant, hypertension, serum Cys-C level and RRI value at 24 h before CTA. The combination of Cys-C level and RRI value has a high predictive value for the occurrence of CIN.
