The impact of isoosmolar versus low-osmolar contrast media (CM) administration on contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) and extended renal dysfunction (ERD) is unclear. We retrospectively examined incidences of CI-AKI and ERD in patients who received iodixanol (isoosmolar) versus iohexol (low-osmolar) during angiography for cardiac indications. Of 713 patients, 560 (cohort A), 190 (cohort B), and 172 (cohort C) had serum creatinine monitored at 3 days, 30 days, and 6 months after angiography, respectively. 18% of cohort A developed CI-AKI, which was more common with iodixanol than iohexol (22% versus 13%,P=0.006). However, patients given iodixanol were older with lower baseline estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFR). On multivariate analysis, independent associations with higher CI-AKI risk include age >65 years, female gender, cardiac failure, ST-elevation myocardial infarction, intra-aortic balloon pump, and critical illness, but not CM type, higher CM load, oreGFR<45 mL/min/1.73 m2. 32% of cohort B and 34% of cohort C had ERD at 30 days and 6 months, while 44% and 41% of subcohorts had ERD at 90 days and 1 year, respectively. CI-AKI, but not CM type, was associated with medium- and longer-term ERD, with 3-fold higher risk. Advanced age, emergent cardiac conditions, and critical illness are stronger predictors of CI-AKI, compared with CM-related factors. CI-AKI predicts longer-term ERD.

We report a patient with cardiogenic shock (CS) in the course of acute right ventricular myocardial infarction (MI). Our case highlights the use of continuous veno-venous hemofiltration as a novel treatment option for acute kidney injury in the setting of CS and the use of rotational_atherectomy in patients with MI.

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a risk factor for long-term adverse outcomes, including acute myocardial infarction and death. The objective of this study was to find out in-hospital outcomes in patients with acute ST elevation myocardial infarction with acute kidney injury.Methods: A total 190 patients were included in this study and were equally divided into two groups, Group-I (with AKI) and Group-II (without AKI), according to absolute changes of serum creatinine level. AKI was defined as absolute changes in serum creatinine (SCr. at 48 hours’ minus admission SCr) and categorized as mild AKI (increase of 0.3 to <0.5 mg/d), moderate AKI (increase of 0.5 to <1.0 mg/dl), and severe AKI (increase of e”1.0 mg/dl) using Acute Kidney Injury Network (AKIN) criteria.Results: Overall in-hospital mortality rate was 14.7% in Group-I (mortality rate for those with mild, moderate, and severe AKI were 7%, 13.3%, and 31.8%) compared with 5.3% in Group-II. Regarding inhospital morbidities, significant arrhythmia (29.5%) was the most common complication followed by acute heart failure (18.9%), cardiogenic shock (12.6%), and mechanical complications (4.2%) which were more in Group-I compared to patients with Group-II. After adjustment of other risk variables, the multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed AKI remained an independent predictor of in-hospital mortality with adjusted odds ratios (OR) was 4.991 (95% confidence interval, 1.873-13.301).Conclusions: AKI is an independent predictor of in-hospital mortality and morbidity. It emphasizes the importance of efforts to identify risk factors and to prevent AKI during in-hospital management of acute STEMI patients.Cardiovasc. j. 2018; 11(1): 59-66

Background: Deterioration of renal function after exposition to contrast media is a common problem in patients with myocardial infarction undergoing percutaneous coronary interventions. The aim of the present study was to assess the incidence of acute kidney injury in patients admitted with ST-elevation-myocardial infarction (STEMI) and its association with infarction severity, comorbidities and treatment modalities, including amount of contrast media applied. Methods: All patients with STEMI from the metropolitan area of Bremen, Germany are treated at the Bremen Heart Centre and since 2006 documented in the Bremen STEMI-Registry. Acute kidney injury was graded from stage 0 to 3 following the Kidney-disease-improving-global outcomes criteria from 2012. Results: Data from 3810 patients admitted with STEMI were included in this study. No acute kidney injury was observed in 3120 (82%) patients while acute kidney injury was detected in 690 (18%) patients: Stage 1: n=497 (13%), 2: n=66 (2%), 3: n=127 (3%). Acute kidney injury was associated with elevated 30-day (0: 3%, 1: 20%, 2: 46%, 3: 58%) and one-year mortality rates (0: 6%, 1: 26%, 2: 49%, 3: 66%). Higher acute kidney injury stages were associated with higher peak creatine kinase (in U/l±SEM): stage 0: 1748±33, 1: 2588±127, 2: 3684±395, 3: 3330±399, p (<0.01), lower mean systolic blood pressure at admission (in mmHG±SD): 0: 133±28, 1: 129±31; 2: 121±31, 3: 115±33 ( p<0.01) and higher Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction risk score for STEMI (scale 0–14±SD): 0: 2.71±2, 1: 4.08±2, 2: 4.98±2, 3: 5.05±2, ( p<0.01). However, no such association could be found between acute kidney injury stage and amount of contrast media applied (in ml±SD) 0: 138±57, 1: 139±61; 2: 140±76; 3: 145±80 ( p=0.5). Reduced initial glomerular filtration rate was associated with higher incidences of acute kidney injury while again no relation to amount of contrast media could be observed in subgroups ranked by initial glomerular filtration rate. A multivariate analysis confirmed these results: while left-heart-failure/cardiogenic shock (odds ratio (OR) 4.2, 95% confidence interval (CI) 3.3–5.5) as well as larger infarctions (peak creatine kinase >3000 U/l (OR 2.2, 95% CI 1.7–2.8)) were independently associated with a greater risk for acute kidney injury, amount of contrast media applied during angiography was not (150–250 ml, OR 0.95, 95% CI 0.8–1.2 ( p=0.7), >250 ml, OR 1.3, 95% CI 0.8–2.0 ( p=0.5)). Conclusions: Acute kidney injury, which was associated with elevated short- and long-term mortality rates, could be observed in 18% of patients admitted with STEMI. The present data suggest that severity and haemodynamic impairment due to STEMI rather than contrast-media-induced nephropathy is the key contributor for acute kidney injury in STEMI patients. The deleterious effect of the myocardial infarction itself on renal function can be explained through renal hypoperfusion, neurohormonal activation or other pathomechanisms that might have been underestimated in the past.
