RESUMO
Contrast-induced nephropathy has been the common cause of hospital-acquired acute kidney injury in the elderly patients. This study aimed to analyze the risk factors for contrast-induced nephropathy in over-aged patients undergoing coronary angiography or percutaneous coronary intervention. A total of 470 over-aged patients (≥80 years old) were judged as the contrast-induced nephropathy group ( n = 46) and non-contrast-induced nephropathy group ( n = 424) according to the postoperative 48-h serum creatinine levels. The patients' clinical information such as hypertension grade, number and degree of coronary artery stenosis, and death rate was compared. The risk factors for contrast-induced nephropathy were also analyzed. The hypertension grade in the contrast-induced nephropathy group was significantly higher than that in the non-contrast-induced nephropathy group ( P = 0.004). The degree of coronary artery stenosis was significantly more in the contrast-induced nephropathy group compared with the non-contrast-induced nephropathy group ( P = 0.003). The death rate of the contrast-induced nephropathy group (15.8%) was significantly higher than that of the non-contrast-induced nephropathy group (0.6%; P = 0.000). The percentage of patients with abnormal urine microalbumin was significantly bigger in the contrast-induced nephropathy group (62.5%) when comparing to the non-contrast-induced nephropathy group (23.6%; P = 0.00). Besides, there was also significant difference in the emergency/selective operation between the contrast-induced nephropathy group and non-contrast-induced nephropathy group ( P = 0.001). Further, hypertension grade ( P = 0.019), emergency/selective operation ( P = 0.025), degree of coronary artery stenosis ( P = 0.038), eGFR ( P = 0.034), and urine microalbumin ( P = 0.005) were the risk factors for contrast-induced nephropathy. Hypertension grade, emergency/selective operation, degree of coronary artery stenosis, eGFR, and urine microalbumin were the risk factors for contrast-induced nephropathy in over-aged patients receiving coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention, providing guidance for the clinical prevention of contrast-induced nephropathy. Impact statement In this work, we evaluated the risk factors for contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) in over-aged patients receiving coronary angiography (CAG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We found that hypertension grade, emergency/selective operation, degree of coronary artery stenosis, eGFR, and urine microalbumin were the risk factors for CIN in over-aged patients receiving CAG and PCI. This study provides guidance for the clinical prevention of CIN in over-aged patients undergoing coronary intervention, highlighting that a perioperative comprehensive management strategy is needed to improve the prognosis.
