Cui Y, Zhang S, Wang W, Opara NC, Yao D, Li B, Yang W, Ju S, Wang YC. Effects of Low-Osmolar Contrast Media on Long-Term Renal Impairment After Coronary Angiography: Iohexol Versus Iopromide. Am J Cardiol 2024; 211:209-218. [PMID: 37984642 DOI: 10.1016/j.amjcard.2023.11.029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/28/2023] [Revised: 10/22/2023] [Accepted: 11/11/2023] [Indexed: 11/22/2023]
Abstract
To investigate the long-term effects of 2 commonly used low-osmolar contrast media, iohexol and iopromide, on renal function and survival in patients who underwent coronary angiography. A total of 14,141 cardiology patients from 2006 to 2013 were recruited, of whom 1,793 patients (679 patients on iohexol and 1,114 on iopromide) were evaluated for long-term renal impairment and 5,410 patients (1,679 patients on iohexol and 3,731 on iopromide) were admitted for survival analyses spanning as long as 15 years. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used to explore the risk factors for long-term renal impairment. Cox proportional hazard regression was used to investigate the risk factors affecting survival. Propensity score matching and inverse probability of treatment weighting were applied to balance the baseline clinical characteristics. Patients receiving iohexol demonstrated a greater occurrence of renal impairment compared with those who received iopromide. Such difference remained consistent both before and after propensity score matching or inverse probability of treatment weighting, with a statistical significance of p <0.05. Among clinical variables, receiving contrast-enhanced contrast tomography/magnetic resonance imaging during follow-up, antihypertensive medication usage, presence of proteinuria, and anemia were identified as risk factors for long-term renal impairment (p = 0.041, 0.049, 0.006, and 0.029, respectively). During survival analyses, the difference was insignificant after propensity score matching and inverse probability of treatment weighting. In conclusion, administration of iohexol was more likely to induce long-term renal impairment than iopromide, particularly among patients diagnosed with anemia and proteinuria and those taking antihypertensive medication and with additional contrast exposure. The all-cause mortality, however, showed no significant difference between iohexol and iopromide administration.

Abstract
Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is manifested by an abrupt decline in kidney function as a consequence of intravascular exposure to contrast media. With the increased applicability of medical imaging and interventional procedures that utilize contrast media for clinical diagnosis, CI-AKI is becoming the leading cause of renal dysfunction. The pathophysiological mechanism associated with CI-AKI involves renal medullary hypoxia, the direct toxicity of contrast agents, oxidative stress, apoptosis, inflammation, and epigenetic regulation. To date, there is no effective therapy for CI-AKI, except for the development of strategies that could reduce the toxicity profiles of contrast media. While most of these strategies have failed, evidence has shown that the proper use of personalized hydration, contrast medium, and high-dose statins may reduce the occurrence of CI-AKI. However, adequate risk predication and attempts to develop preventive strategies can be considered as the key determinants that can help eliminate CI-AKI. Additionally, a deeper understanding of the pathophysiological mechanism of CI-AKI is crucial to uncover molecular targets for the prevention of CI-AKI. This review has taken a step further to solidify the current known molecular mechanisms of CI-AKI and elaborate the biomarkers that are used to detect early-stage CI-AKI. On this foundation, this review will analyze the molecular targets relating to apoptosis, inflammation, oxidative stress, and epigenetics, and, thus, provide a strong rationale for therapeutic intervention in the prevention of CI-AKI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To assess the impact of the new version of a deep learning (DL) spectral reconstruction on image quality of virtual monoenergetic images (VMIs) for contrast-enhanced abdominal computed tomography in the rapid kV-switching platform. METHODS Two phantoms were scanned with a rapid kV-switching CT using abdomen-pelvic CT examination parameters at dose of 12.6 mGy. Images were reconstructed using two versions of DL spectral reconstruction algorithms (DLSR V1 and V2) for three reconstruction levels. The noise power spectrum (NSP) and task-based transfer function at 50% (TTF50) were computed at 40/50/60/70 keV. A detectability index (d') was calculated for enhanced lesions at low iodine concentrations: 2, 1, and 0.5 mg/mL. RESULTS The noise magnitude was significantly lower with DLSR V2 compared to DLSR V1 for energy levels between 40 and 60 keV by -36.5% ± 1.4% (mean ± standard deviation) for the standard level. The average NPS frequencies increased significantly with DLSR V2 by 23.7% ± 4.2% for the standard level. The highest difference in TTF50 was observed at the mild level with a significant increase of 61.7% ± 11.8% over 40-60 keV energy with DLSR V2. The d' values were significantly higher for DLSR V2 versus DLSR V1. CONCLUSIONS The DLSR V2 improves image quality and detectability of low iodine concentrations in VMIs compared to DLSR V1. This suggests a great potential of DLSR V2 to reduce iodined contrast doses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) has been reported to be the third most common cause of hospital-acquired acute kidney injury (AKI) and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to assess the incidence and risk factors of CI-AKI in Sudanese patients undergoing coronary angiography. METHODS The study was a descriptive, prospective, hospital-based study conducted at Alshaab Hospital between January and April 2019. A total of 163 patients undergoing coronary angiography were enrolled, and a checklist was used to collect data. Chi-square and regression analyses were performed to identify the risk factors of CI‑AKI. CI‑AKI was defined as a rise in serum creatinine ≥25% above baseline within three days after percutaneous coronary angiography (PCA). RESULTS CI‑AKI incidence in patients undergoing coronary angiography was 31.9% (52/163). Among independent variables, diabetes mellitus, the type of coronary angiography, and the volume of contrast medium were statistically significantly (p-value ˂ 0.05) associated with CI-AKI development. Logistic analysis showed that diabetes (odds ratio (OR): 15.2; 95% CI: 6.771-33.974; p = 0.001), percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) (OR: 2.4; 95% CI: 1.168-4.901; p = 0.017), and the volume of contrast medium (OR 2.1; 95% CI: 1.440-3.054; p = 0.001) were independent predictors correlated to CI‑AKI development. CONCLUSION The incidence of CI-AKI is 31.9%, and diabetes mellitus, PCI, and high volume of contrast medium are associated with a higher risk of CI-AKI in patients undergoing coronary angiography.

Abstract
Intravenous contrast media (CM) is often used in clinical practice to enhance CT scan imaging. For many years, contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) was thought to be a common occurrence and to result in dire consequences. When treating patients with abnormal renal function, it is not unusual that clinicians postpone, cancel, or replace contrast-enhanced imaging with other, perhaps less informative tests. New studies however have challenged this paradigm and the true risk attributable to intravenous CM for the occurrence of CIN has become debatable. In this article, we review the latest relevant medical literature and aim to provide an evidence-based answer to questions surrounding the risk, outcomes, and potential mitigation strategies of CIN after intravenous CM administration.

Abstract
The risk of malnutrition in acute kidney injury and mortality in coronary artery disease patients has not been studied. This study aimed to evaluate whether nutritional status assessed by Onodera's prognostic nutritional index (PNI) was related to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) outcomes. A total of 3731 patients who received PCI between January 2010 and December 2018 were included. The relationship between PNI at the time of PCI and the occurrence of contrast-associated acute kidney injury (AKI) and all-cause death was evaluated using logistic regression and Cox proportional hazards models, respectively. AKI occurred in 271 patients (7.3%). A low PNI was independently associated with an increased risk of AKI on multivariate logistic regression analysis (OR 0.96, 95% CI 0.94-0.98, P = 0.001). During the median follow-up of 4.3 years, Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that patients with AKI/low PNI < 47.8 had a higher death rate. After adjusting for various risk factors, a low PNI was a significant risk factor for mortality (HR 0.98, CI 0.96-0.99, P = 0.003). A low level of PNI was associated with increased mortality, especially in the group aged over 70 years and female sex. PNI was closely associated with acute kidney outcomes and patient mortality after PCI.

Abstract
Introduction Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is a worldwide known complication related to the use of contrast media with either imaging or angiography; it carries its own complications and effect on both morbidity and mortality; early identification of patients at risk and addressing modifiable risk factors may help reducing risk for this disease and its complications. Methods This was a prospective observational study, where all patients admitted for cardiac catheterization between June 2015 and January 2016 were evaluated for CI-AKI. There were two study groups: contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) group, and noncontrast-induced acute kidney injury (non-CI-AKI) group. Results Patients (n = 202) were included and followed up for 4 years. Death and development of chronic kidney disease (CKD) need for another revascularization were the end points. The incidence of CI-AKI was 14.8%.In univariate analysis, age (P = 0.016) and serum albumin at admission (P = 0.001) were statistically significant predictors of overall death. Age (P = 0.002), HTN (P = 0.002), DM (P = 0.02), and the use of diuretics (P = 0.001) had a statistically significant impact on eGFR. The rate of recatheterization was not statistically significant between the two groups (61 (35.5%) for the non-CI-AKI vs. 12 (40%) for the other group; P = 0.63). Some inflammatory markers (NGAL P = 0.06, IL-19 P = 0.08) and serum albumin at admission P = 0.07 had a trend toward a statistically significant impact on recatheterization. Death (P = 0.66) and need for recatheterization (P = 0.63) were not statistically different between the 2 groups, while the rate of eGFR decline in for the CI-AKI was significant (P = 0.004). Conclusion CI-AKI is a common complication post percutaneous catheterization (PCI), which may increase the risk for CKD, but not death or the need for recatheterization. Preventive measures must be taken early to decrease the morbidity.

Abstract
Background Drug-induced acute kidney injury (D-AKI) is increasingly common and can extend the hospital length of stay and increase mortality. This study is aimed at analyzing the clinical characteristics of hospitalized patients with D-AKI and the associated risk factors in a multidrug environment. Methods A retrospective study among hospitalized patients was conducted in July 2019 based on the Adverse Drug Events Active Surveillance and Assessment System-2 developed by the authors. Four controls were matched with each case according to the matching criteria. The risk factors for D-AKI were identified by binary multivariate logistic regression. Results A total of 23,073 patients were hospitalized in July 2019, 21,131 of whom satisfied the inclusion criteria. The independent risk factors for D-AKI consisted of alcohol abuse (odds ratio (OR), 2.05; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.04-4.07), nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use (OR, 2.39; 95% CI, 1.25-4.58), diuretic use (OR, 2.64; 95% CI, 1.42-4.92), prior anemia (OR, 4.10; 95% CI, 1.94-8.67), and prior chronic kidney disease (OR, 2.33; 95% CI, 1.07-5.08). Conclusions The occurrence of D-AKI in hospitalized patients had significant associations with alcohol abuse, combination therapy with NSAIDs or diuretics, and prior anemia or chronic kidney disease. Clinicians should meticulously follow patients with the above characteristics.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To establish a nomogram for contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) risk assessment among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) undergoing coronary angiography (CAG) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). DESIGN Prospective observational cohort study. SETTING Southern China. INTERVENTIONS None. PARTICIPANTS 643 consecutive patients with CKD (defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate calculated by Modification of Diet in Renal Disease formula <60 mL/min/1.73 mm2) were enrolled. OUTCOME MEASURES The end point was CI-AKI defined as serum creatinine elevation ≥0.5 mg/dL or 25% from baseline within the first 48-72 hours following contrast exposure.Predictors of CI-AKI were selected by multivariable logistic regression and stepwise approach. A nomogram based on these predictors was constructed and compared with the classic Mehran Score. For validation, a bootstrap method (1000 times) was performed. RESULTS The nomogram including age, weight, heart rate, hypotension, PCI and β-blocker demonstrated a better predictive value than the classic Mehran Score (area under the curve: 0.78 vs 0.71, p=0.024), as well as a well-fitted calibration curve (χ2=12.146, p=0.145). Validation through the bootstrap method (1000 times) also indicated a good discriminative power (adjusted C-statistic: 0.76). CONCLUSIONS With fewer predictors and higher discriminative power, the present nomogram may be a simple and reliable tool to identify patients with CKD at risk of CI-AKI, whereas further external validations are needed.
