Abstract
BACKGROUND Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is a disorder that adversely affects the prognosis of STEMI. The study aimed to assess the predictive value of a new marker, logarithm of haemoglobin and albumin product (LHAP) on the risk of CI-AKI development after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (p-pcı). METHOD We retrospectively enrolled 3057 patients with ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction who were treated with p-PCI. The primary outcome was CI-AKI, defined as >25% or >0.5 mg/dl increase of baseline creatinine values during post-procedural 48 h. RESULTS First, a baseline model was produced to determine the predictors of CI-AKI, then haemoglobin, albumin and LHAP were included in the base model and the performances of all models were compared. The predictive accuracy (Likelihood ratio χ2 and R2) and discrimination (ROC-AUC) of the model including LHAP were significantly higher than that of models including both albumin and Hgb. LHAP best cut-off value for the development of CI-AKI was 9.26 (sensitivity 68% and specificity 66%). CONCLUSION LHAP values were the most important predictor of CI-AKI, followed by creatinine value and Killip class. LHAP values are significantly associated with CI-AKI after p-PCI.

Abstract
Background Contrast associated acute kidney injury (CA-AKI) is a major cause of acute renal failure and the incidence of CA-AKI is still high in recent years. Risk stratification is traditionally based on glomerular filtration rate(GFR). Hence, the aim of this study was to explore the novel risk factors for CA-AKI after enhanced computed tomography (CT). Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted in 632 in-hospital patients undergoing enhanced CT. The patients were divided into CA-AKI and no-CA-AKI groups. For comparative analyses, we applied one-to-four cohorts of those two groups using propensity score-matching methods addressing the imbalances of age, gender, weight, and smoking. The baseline clinical and biochemical data were compared. Logistic regression analysis was employed to investigate the CA-AKI risk factors. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was adopted to test the value of RDW in predicting CA-AKI after enhanced CT. Results 25 (3.96%) patients suffered from CA-AKI. Those subjects who developed CA-AKI had advanced age, severer renal functional injury, lower albumin, higher baseline RDW, neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) than those without CA-AKI. It also exhibited more severe anemia including decreased hemoglobin and red blood cell count (all p < 0.05). The baseline RDW, albumin and PLR between the two groups were statistically significant different after PSM. Binary logistic regression analysis showed that baseline RDW, albumin and eGFR were correlated with CA-AKI after contrast-enhanced CT examination. The RDW exhibited moderated discrimination ability for predicting CA-AKI beyond eGFR, with an AUC of 0.803 (95% CI [0.702-0.90]) vs 0.765 (95% CI [0.70-0.83]). Conclusion Increased baseline RDW and decreased eGFR are risk factors for CA-AKI after enhanced CT. RDW exhibited good predictive value and can be used as an early warning marker for patients suffering from CA-AKI after enhanced CT.

Relationship between contrast-induced nephropathy and long-term mortality after percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with chronic coronary total occlusion. Rev Assoc Med Bras (1992) 2022; 68:1078-1083. [PMID: 36000604 PMCID: PMC9574976 DOI: 10.1590/1806-9282.20220283] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2022] [Accepted: 04/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Intervention in chronic total occlusion lesions involves long procedure time, a serious contrast load, and complex procedures. In this study, we aimed to investigate mortality rate of patients who had procedural coronary angiography done for chronic total occlusion lesions in coronary angiography series and who developed contrast-induced nephropathy. METHODS: A total of 218 patients with chronic total occlusion lesion in at least one coronary artery, from three different medical centers, who underwent procedural coronary angiography were recruited for the study. Patient population was divided into two groups: those who developed contrast-induced nephropathy and those who did not. Mortality due to all causes was investigated between both groups throughout a 100-month follow-up. RESULTS: Mean age of patients with incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy was 66.7±11.8, and 23.8% of them were comprised by female. We found a significantly higher mortality in long-term follow-up in the patient group with contrast-induced nephropathy (42.9 vs. 57.1%, p=<0.001). According to Kaplan-Meier analysis performed additionally, survival during follow-up was significantly shorter in this group and, in logistic regression analysis, it was an independent predictor of mortality (OR 11.78; 95%CI 3.38–40.9). CONCLUSION: We identified that the development of contrast-induced nephropathy is associated with long-term mortality. It might be possible to reduce adverse events with prophylactic approaches before the procedure and close follow-up of such patients after the procedure.

Abstract
Contrast-associated acute kidney injury (CA-AKI) is an impairment of renal function, which occurs within days of intravascular administration of iodinated contrast media. Taking into account that minimally invasive cardiac interventions are becoming increasingly popular, compared to traditional surgery, given their impact on prognosis and costs, CA-AKI remains a subject of increasing interest for patients and physicians. This review summarizes the epidemiology and risk stratification, diagnostic criteria, pathophysiology and clinical implications of CA-AKI, providing evidence for the most studied preventive strategies.

Abstract
Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is an important complication of iodinated contrast medium (CM) administration, which is associated with both short- and long-term adverse outcomes (e.g., cardiorenal events, longer hospital stay, and mortality). CIN has been mainly studied in relation to cardiac procedures, but it can also occur following non-cardiac vascular interventions. This is Part 1 of a narrative review summarizing the available literature on CIN after non-cardiac vascular diagnostic or therapeutic procedures for aortic aneurysm and carotid stenosis. We discuss the definition, pathophysiology, incidence, risk factors, biomarkers, and consequences of CIN in these settings, as well as preventive strategies and alternatives to limit iodinated CM use. Physicians and vascular surgeons should be aware of CM-related adverse events and the potential strategies to avoid them. Clearly, more research in this important field is required.

Abstract
Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is common. Risk factors include preexisting renal impairment, diabetes, elderly age, and dehydration. In a single-centre prospective study, we investigated which factors are implicated for CIN in patients with peripheral arterial disease due for angiography. Serum creatinine was measured before, 1, 2, and 7 days post-angiography. We also considered the chronic kidney disease stage of the patients at admission and 48 hours post-contrast. All patients received 500 mL normal saline pre- and post-angiography and a low-osmolality contrast medium. 6 of 94 patients developed CIN: 1 required dialysis and 1 died partly due to renal failure. Only 2 factors were associated with CIN: body mass index (BMI; P = .019) and kidney function (P = .001); 4 of 6 patients with CIN were obese (BMI ≥30) and only 2 were nonobese (P = .0092). Diabetes, contrast volume, and age were not significant risk factors. Our results confirm renal impairment raises the risk of CIN. To our knowledge, we report for the first time that obesity may be a risk factor for CIN. Pending confirmatory studies and given the rising prevalence of obesity, this finding could help identify at-risk patients and hence reduce the burden of CIN.

Can intravenous sodium-bicarbonate improve long-term outcomes? CARDIOVASCULAR REVASCULARIZATION MEDICINE 2020; 31:61-68.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE Radiocontrast-induced acute kidney injury (RAKI) is a frequent complication during angiography and is associated with adverse prognosis. Most of the studies evaluating the long-term outcome of patients with RAKI are based on institutional registries. This is the first prospective study to evaluate the 5-year outcomes of patients with RAKI, and assess the effect of sodium bicarbonate (SB) in the long-term outcomes of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) undergoing non-emergent coronary angiography. MATERIALS/METHODS 382 CKD stage III-IV patients undergoing elective non-emergent coronary angiography were randomized to SB (n = 192) or normal saline (NS) solution (n = 190). Incidence of RAKI, in-hospital, 1- and 5-year mortality and renal replacement therapy (RRT), and 5-year major adverse renal and cardiovascular events (MARCE) were compared between groups. Outcomes of patient with and without RAKI were compared after five-years of prospective follow-up. Multivariate predictors of RAKI and death at 5-years were determined. RESULTS The use of SB did not improve the incidence of RAKI, in-hospital outcomes, survival, and freedom from RRT or MARCE after 5-years of follow-up. Patients that developed RAKI had a significantly higher mortality at 1-year [8.9% Vs. 1.2%] and 5-years (36% Vs. 11%) (P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Hydration with SB showed no benefit compared to NS in preventing RAKI. The use of SB was not superior to NS after 5-years of follow-up regarding MARCE, survival or freedom of RRT. Five-year mortality among patients who developed RAKI remains high, and further research is needed to find the best preventive strategy for this high-risk group of patients. SUMMARY Radiocontrast-induced acute-kidney-injury (RAKI) is associated with poor long-term outcomes in observational and short-term studies. Hydration with sodium bicarbonate (SB) had been evaluated in the prevention of RAKI; but its long-term effect has not been evaluated. We randomized 382 high high-risk patients undergoing coronary angiography to SB or normal saline following them for five years. SB showed no benefit in preventing RAKI, decreasing major adverse renal and cardiovascular events, improving survival or freedom from dialysis after 5-years. This is the first study to follow patients with RAKI for a period of 5-years, showing a significantly higher mortality in this group of patients.

Abstract
Objectives: This prospective, randomized study was to investigate the role of nicorandil in the prevention of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) in patients with chronic renal dysfunction undergoing an elective coronary procedure. Methods: A total of 252 eligible patients were enrolled in this study and allocated into the control group (n = 125) or nicorandil group (n = 127). Both groups received the standard hydration treatment, and patients in the nicorandil group were orally administrated 10 mg of nicorandil (t.i.d.) beginning 2 days before and continuing for 2 days after an elective coronary procedure. Serum creatinine (SCr) and cystatin C (CysC) were measured at 24 h before and 24, 48, and 72 h after the procedure. The occurrences of CIN and adverse events within 1 year were recorded. Results: The nicorandil group had relatively lower SCr and CysC levels and a higher eGFR at 24 and 48 h after the procedure than the control group (p < 0.05). The incidence of CIN was significantly decreased in the nicorandil group compared to the control group. The multivariate logistic regression model revealed that nicorandil treatment was an independent protective factor for CIN (OR 0.669, 95% CI 0.522–0.857, p = 0.001). The multivariate COX proportional hazard model showed that nicorandil treatment was an independent protective predictor for adverse events (HR 0.881, 95% CI 0.781–0.993, p = 0.037). Conclusions: Nicorandil could exhibit a protective effect against CIN in patients with chronic renal dysfunction undergoing an elective coronary procedure and reduce the adverse events within 1 year after the procedure, which is superior to hydration treatment only.

Abstract
Background Several models have been developed for prediction of contrast‐induced nephropathy (CIN); however, they only contain patients receiving intra‐arterial contrast media for coronary angiographic procedures, which represent a small proportion of all contrast procedures. In addition, most of them evaluate radiological interventional procedure‐related variables. So it is necessary for us to develop a model for prediction of CIN before radiological procedures among patients administered contrast media. Methods and Results A total of 8800 patients undergoing contrast administration were randomly assigned in a 4:1 ratio to development and validation data sets. CIN was defined as an increase of 25% and/or 0.5 mg/dL in serum creatinine within 72 hours above the baseline value. Preprocedural clinical variables were used to develop the prediction model from the training data set by the machine learning method of random forest, and 5‐fold cross‐validation was used to evaluate the prediction accuracies of the model. Finally we tested this model in the validation data set. The incidence of CIN was 13.38%. We built a prediction model with 13 preprocedural variables selected from 83 variables. The model obtained an area under the receiver‐operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) of 0.907 and gave prediction accuracy of 80.8%, sensitivity of 82.7%, specificity of 78.8%, and Matthews correlation coefficient of 61.5%. For the first time, 3 new factors are included in the model: the decreased sodium concentration, the INR value, and the preprocedural glucose level. Conclusions The newly established model shows excellent predictive ability of CIN development and thereby provides preventative measures for CIN.

Abstract
Aim: This study sought to assess whether the volume and osmolarity of contrast media (CM) influences the occurrence of contrast induced nephropathy (CIN) following coronarography procedure. CIN can be defined as an increase in the serum concentration of creatinine greater than a 25% from baseline during the period of 12 to 48 hours after the administration of radiocontrast media. Material and methods: We examined 100 patients without diabetes with serum creatinine concentration from 45 mmol/l to 141 mmol/l and 100 patients with diabetes with serum creatinine concentration from 46 mmol/l to 161 mmol/l who underwent coronary angiography. During procedure they received iso-osmolar contrast medium, Visipaque 320 (iodixanol-320), for group without diabetes from 40 to 340 ml and for group with diabetes from 49 to 310 ml. Results: CIN occurred in 27 (13,5%) of the 200 study patients. There was a trend toward higher prevalence of CIN (16% vs.11%, p = 0.086) in the diabetic group compared with the non-diabetic group. Patient with diabetes received less contrast media, they are younger but number patients with CIN are higher.
Conclusion: Increasing contrast media dose is associated with the occurrence of CIN following coronarography. But, another risk factors like diabetes mellitus, old age, male sex and preexisting kidney disease have influence of developing CIN after coronarography.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Contrast media (CM) are a major cause of nephropathy in high-risk patients. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of carnitine (CAR) in advanced nephrotoxicity due to CM administration in rats with glycerol-induced renal functional disorder. METHODS 40 rats were divided randomly into five groups (n = 8): (1) healthy group; (2) glycerol only (GLY); (3) glycerol and CM (GLY + CM); (4) glycerol, CM and 200 mg kg(-1) carnitine (CAR200, Carnitene(®); Sigma-tau/Santa Farma, Istanbul, Turkey); and (5) glycerol, CM and 400 mg kg(-1) carnitine (CAR400). Kidney injury was induced with a single-dose, intramuscular injection of 10 ml kg(-1) body weight (b.w.) of GLY. CAR was administered intraperitoneally. CM (8 ml kg(-1) b.w. iohexol, Omnipaque™; Opakim Medical Products, Istanbul, Turkey) was infused via the tail vein to the rats in Groups 3-5. RESULTS l-carnitine administration significantly decreased serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen levels. Superoxide dismutase and glutathione activity increased significantly in the treatment groups compared with the nephrotoxic groups. CAR400 significantly reduced malondialdehyde levels to healthy levels. In the treatment groups, tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α, transforming growth factor 1β, interleukin 1β and caspase-3 gene expression decreased compared with the nephrotoxic groups. TNF-α and nuclear factor kappa-beta (NF-κB) protein expression increased after CM and CAR administration reduced both TNF-α and NF-κB expressions. Histopathologically, hyaline and haemorrhagic casts and necrosis in proximal tubules increased in the nephrotoxicity groups and decreased in the CAR groups. CONCLUSION The results reveal that l-carnitine protects the oxidant/antioxidant balance and decreases proinflammatory cytokines and apoptosis in CM-induced nephrotoxicity in rats with underlying pathology. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE Depending on the underlying kidney pathologies, the incidence of CM-induced nephropathy (CIN) increases. Therefore, this is the best model to represent clinically observed CIN.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To look at the available literature on validated prediction models for contrast induced nephropathy and describe their characteristics. DESIGN Systematic review. DATA SOURCES Medline, Embase, and CINAHL (cumulative index to nursing and allied health literature) databases. REVIEW METHODS Databases searched from inception to 2015, and the retrieved reference lists hand searched. Dual reviews were conducted to identify studies published in the English language of prediction models tested with patients that included derivation and validation cohorts. Data were extracted on baseline patient characteristics, procedural characteristics, modelling methods, metrics of model performance, risk of bias, and clinical usefulness. Eligible studies evaluated characteristics of predictive models that identified patients at risk of contrast induced nephropathy among adults undergoing a diagnostic or interventional procedure using conventional radiocontrast media (media used for computed tomography or angiography, and not gadolinium based contrast). RESULTS 16 studies were identified, describing 12 prediction models. Substantial interstudy heterogeneity was identified, as a result of different clinical settings, cointerventions, and the timing of creatinine measurement to define contrast induced nephropathy. Ten models were validated internally and six were validated externally. Discrimination varied in studies that were validated internally (C statistic 0.61-0.95) and externally (0.57-0.86). Only one study presented reclassification indices. The majority of higher performing models included measures of pre-existing chronic kidney disease, age, diabetes, heart failure or impaired ejection fraction, and hypotension or shock. No prediction model evaluated its effect on clinical decision making or patient outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Most predictive models for contrast induced nephropathy in clinical use have modest ability, and are only relevant to patients receiving contrast for coronary angiography. Further research is needed to develop models that can better inform patient centred decision making, as well as improve the use of prevention strategies for contrast induced nephropathy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) has not been systematically studied in high-risk patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for chronic total occlusion (CTO). METHODS We prospectively observed 515 consecutive patients with CKD undergoing PCI. Patients were divided into three groups: patients who underwent attempted PCI for CTO (group A, n = 85), patients who did not receive PCI for CTO (group B, n = 45) and patients without CTO (group C, n = 385). RESULTS CIN developed in 55 patients (10.68 %). Group A patients received a larger CM dose than group B or group C (p = 0.024). The intravenous hydration volume, age and CIN Mehran score were not significantly different between the three groups. The incidence of CIN was 9.4 % for group A, 6.7 % for group B and 11.4 % for group C (p = 0.344). In-hospital mortality and required renal replacement therapy (p = 0.325) were not significantly different between the groups. Multivariate analysis showed that after adjusting for potential confounding factors, the odds ratio for CIN was 1.03 (p = 0.944) for group A and 0.64 for group B (p = 0.489) compared to group C. CONCLUSIONS Attempts to achieve recanalization of CTO in patients with CKD might not increase the risk of CIN if appropriate preventative measures are taken. KEY POINTS • Contrast-induced nephropathy can increase morbidity and mortality • Chronic kidney disease patients are at the greatest risk of CIN • Patients with CKD undergoing CTO-PCI are common • Incidence of CIN has not been reported in CKD patients • CTO-PCI in CKD patients might not increase the risk of CIN.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to identify risk factors for renal failure requiring hemodialysis and mortality in patients who developed contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) after cardiac catheterization. Out of 13,742 patients who received cardiac catheterization at Westchester Medical Center/New York Medical College from 2005 to 2008, 268 patients (2%) with a discharge diagnosis of renal failure were screened for CIN. CIN was defined as either a >25% increase of the serum creatinine or an absolute increase in serum creatinine of 0.5 mg/dL within the first 48 hours of the procedure. Chart reviews were performed on 80 patients (1%) who met the criteria for CIN. The 80 patients in the study included 46 men and 34 women, mean age 69 ± 14 years. Of the 80 patients, 18 patients (23%) died, and 22 patients (28%) developed renal failure requiring hemodialysis. Stepwise logistic regression analysis showed that independent risk factors for mortality were the use of calcium channel blockers [odds ratio = 0.0025, 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.0001-0.1210, P < 0.01], catecholamine use (odds ratio = 71.2177, 95% CI, 4.2153-1203, P < 0.01), circulatory failure with lactic acidosis (odds ratio = 32.1405, 95% CI, 2.6331-392, P < 0.01), and renal failure requiring hemodialysis (odds ratio = 17.0376, 95% CI, 1.2344-235, P < 0.05). Significant independent risk factors for renal failure requiring hemodialysis were smoking (odds ratio = 0.06, 95% CI, 0.0045-0.8080, P < 0.05), N-acetylcysteine use (odds ratio = 0.08, 95% CI, 0.0148-0.4179, P < 0.01), anemia (odds ratio = 11.32, 95% CI, 2.57-50, P < 0.01), and circulatory failure with lactic acidosis (odds ratio = 9.76, 95% CI, 2.37-40, P < 0.01). Our data showed that risk factors for mortality in patients with CIN were catecholamine use, circulatory failure with lactic acidosis, and renal failure requiring hemodialysis. Risk factor for reducing mortality in patients with CIN was calcium channel blocker use. Significant risk factors for renal failure requiring hemodialysis were anemia, and circulatory failure with lactic acidosis. Risk factors for reducing renal failure requiring hemodialysis were N-acetylcysteine use and smoking.

Pathogenesis of renal failure in multiple myeloma: any role of contrast media? BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2014; 2014:167125.

Abstract
The spectrum of kidney disease-associated monoclonal immunoglobulin and plasma cell malignancies is remarkably broad and encompasses nearly all nephropathologic entities. Multiple myeloma with kidney impairment at presentation is a medical emergency since the recovery of kidney function is associated with survival benefits. In most cases, kidney impairment may be the first clinical manifestation of malignant plasma cell dyscrasias like multiple myeloma and light chain amyloidosis. Multiple myeloma per se cannot be considered a main risk factor for developing acute kidney injury following intravascular administration of iodinated contrast media. The risk is increased by comorbidities such as chronic kidney disease, diabetes, hypercalcemia, dehydration, and use of nephrotoxic drugs. Before the administration of contrast media, the current recommended laboratory tests for assessing kidney function are serum creatinine measurement and the estimation of glomerular filtration rate by using the CKD-EPI equation. The assessment of Bence Jones proteinuria is unnecessary for evaluating the risk of kidney failure in patients with multiple myeloma, since this test cannot be considered a surrogate biomarker of kidney function.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS With the increasing incidence of cardiovascular disease, angiocardiography using contrast-enhancing media has become an essential diagnostic and therapeutic tool, despite the risk of contrast-medium-induced acute kidney injury (CIAKI). CIAKI may be exacerbated by renin-angiotensin-system (RAS) blockers, which are also used in a variety of cardiovascular disorders. This study evaluated the effects of RAS blockade on CIAKI after coronary angiography. METHODS Patients who underwent coronary angiography in our hospital between May 2009 and July 2011 were reviewed. Serum creatinine levels before and after coronary angiography were recorded. CIAKI was diagnosed according to an increase in serum creatinine > 0.5 mg/dL or 25% above baseline. RESULTS A total of 1,472 subjects were included in this study. Patients taking RAS blockers were older, had a higher baseline creatinine level, lower estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and had received a greater volume of contrast medium. After propensity score matching, no difference was observed between the RAS (+) and RAS (.) groups. Multiple logistic regression identified RAS blockade, age, severe heart failure, contrast volume used, hemoglobin level, and eGFR as predictors of CIAKI. Multiple logistic regression after propensity matching showed that RAS blockade was associated with CIAKI (odds ratio, 1.552; p = 0.026). CONCLUSIONS This study showed that the incidence of CIAKI was increased in patients treated with RAS blockers.

Abstract
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is rapidly becoming a widely used alternative to surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in patients with severe aortic stenosis at high surgical risk. In these patients, TAVR has been associated with markedly improved survival and relief from symptoms. Despite a very-high risk patient profile, recent multicenter registries have confirmed the safety and efficacy of this procedure. Moreover, the randomized, controlled PARTNER (Placement of AoRTic TraNscathetER Valves) trial has confirmed both the superiority of TAVR over medical treatment in patients not considered to be candidates for standard SAVR and the noninferiority of TAVR compared with SAVR in high-risk patients. The TAVR procedure requires a comprehensive preinterventional diagnostic workup. Above all, detailed information on the anatomy of the aortic annulus (AA) and the relation of the AA to the coronary arteries is essential to avoid complications. So far, no imaging reference standard for AA sizing has been established. Echocardiography, catheter angiography, and computed tomography angiography are widely and often complementarily used imaging techniques for this purpose. Compared with 2-dimensional imaging techniques, computed tomography (CT) has been proven to provide comprehensive information on AA anatomy and geometry, supporting appropriate patient selection and prosthesis sizing. In addition, CT is gaining an increasing role in evaluating the vascular access route before the procedure. This article describes the rapidly emerging role of CT in the context of pre-TAVR assessment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The impact of operator experience on fluoroscopy time and contrast utilization during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of coronary chronic total occlusions (CTOs) has received limited study. METHODS We evaluated temporal trends in fluoroscopy time and contrast utilization among 1,363 consecutive CTO PCIs performed at three US institutions between January 2006 and November 2011. RESULTS Mean age was 65 ± 11 years, 85% of patients were men, 40% had diabetes, 37% had prior coronary artery bypass graft surgery, and 42% had prior PCI. The CTO target vessel was the right coronary artery (55%), circumflex (23%), left anterior descending artery (21%), and left main or bypass graft (1%). The retrograde approach was used in 34% of all procedures. The technical and procedural success rates were 85.5 and 84.2%, respectively. The mean procedural time, fluoroscopy time, and contrast utilization were 113 ± 61 min, 42 ± 29 min, and 294 ± 158 mL, respectively. Years since initiation of CTO PCI were independently associated with higher technical success rate (odds ratio [OR] = 1.52, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.52-1.70, P < 0.001), lower fluoroscopy time (OR = 0.84, 95% CI = 0.75-0.95, P = 0.005), and contrast utilization (OR = 0.84, 95% CI = 0.62-0.79, P < 0.001) during the study period. CONCLUSIONS Among selected US-based institutions performing CTO PCI, we observed a significant reduction in total fluoroscopy time and contrast utilization paralleled with an improved technical success rate over time.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of oral n-acetyl cysteine, as a potential nephroprotective agent, in preventing and/or attenuating amphotericin B-induced electrolytes imbalances. METHODS During a one year period, patients were to receive conventional amphotericin b for any indication for at least one week and were randomly allocated to receive either placebo or 600 mg oral n-acetyl cysteine twice daily during the treatment course of amphotericin b. Demographic and clinical data of the study population were gathered. Different aspects of amphotericin b nephrotoxicity including decrease of glomerular filtration rate, hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, renal magnesium and potassium wasting were assessed. Each patient was monitored for any adverse reaction to n-acetyl cysteine. Sixteen and 14 patients in the n-acetyl cysteine and placebo groups completed the study, 3incidences of hypokalemia (75 % versus 70 %; P = 0.724) and hypomagnesemia (30 % versus 20 %; P = 0.468) did not differ significantly between placebo and NAC groups, respectively. Although the rate of AmB nephrotoxicity was higher in the placebo than in the NAC group (60 % versus 40 %), this difference was not statistically significant (P = 0.209) even after adjusting for probable associated factors of amphotericin b nephrotoxicity (P = 0.206). The incidence as well as time of onset of electrolyte abnormalities also did not differ significantly between placebo and n-acetyl cysteine groups. About 44 % of n-acetyl cysteine recipients experienced new onset nausea and a mild unpleasant taste during the study. CONCLUSION Oral n-acetyl cysteine during the amphotericin B treatment course was not significantly effective in preventing or mitigating different features of its nephrotoxicity including decrease of glomerular filtration rate, hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, and renal potassium as well as magnesium wasting.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent and significant complication of cancer and cancer therapy. Cancer patients frequently encounter risk factors for AKI including older age, CKD, prerenal conditions, sepsis, exposure to nephrotoxins, and obstructive physiology. AKI can also be secondary to paraneoplastic conditions, including glomerulonephritis and microangiopathic processes. This complication can have significant consequences, including effects on patients' ability to continue to receive therapy for their malignancy. This review will serve to summarize potential etiologies of AKI that present in patients with cancer as well as to highlight specific patient populations, such as the critically ill cancer patient.

Abstract
AIMS Diabetes mellitus and decreased renal function are important risk factors for contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) in which oxidative stress damage may play a role. Alkalinization with sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO₃) has been proposed as a means of reducing free-radical mediated renal injury; however, the effectiveness of NaHCO₃ treatment to prevent CIN in high-risk patients remains uncertain. METHODS We performed a prospective, randomized, double blind, sodium chloride (NaCl) hydration-controlled study of NaHCO₃ in 120 diabetic patients with impaired renal function (serum creatinine ≥100 μmol/L) undergoing an elective procedure with use of low-osmolar contrast media. The primary endpoint was the incidence of CIN defined as creatinine increase of ≥25% and/or ≥44 μmol/L within 2 days after contrast. Secondary end-points were maximal changes in serum creatinine and estimated glomerular filtration rate. Urine F₂-isoprostane levels were also assessed as measure of oxidative stress. RESULTS There were no significant group differences in baseline characteristics except for the marginally lower age of the NaHCO₃ treated patients (63 ± 11 vs. 67 ± 10 years; p=0.05). CIN occurred in 7 (11.5%) and 5 (8.5%) patients of the NaHCO₃ and NaCl groups, respectively (p=0.76; incidence rate ratio 1.35; 95% CI 0.37-5.41). No significant differences were seen in secondary outcome measures and changes in the parameter of oxidative stress. CONCLUSIONS In diabetic patients with renal function impairment sodium bicarbonate does not confer protection against contrast-induced nephropathy greater than sodium chloride-based hydration. Its specific role in mitigating oxidative stress damage in CIN is also not supported by our data.

Abstract
The clinical need for characterising small renal masses (SRMs) is increasing due to their rising incidental detection. This increase is especially seen in younger and older generations and concerns mainly SRMs. Diagnostics is mainly made by contrast-enhanced CT or MRI. However, these imaging methods fail to accurately distinguishing benign from malignant SRMs. Other disadvantages of CT or MRI are high costs, the use of ionizing radiation, nephrotoxicity induced by iodine contrast agents or nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) induced by gadolinium contrast agents. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is based on ultrasonography and microbubbles to real-time visualize the renal blood flow without the use of nephrotoxic agents or ionizing radiation. This comprehensive review evaluates the capabilities of CEUS in the diagnostics of benign (angiomyolipomas, cysts, oncocytomas, pseudotumors) and malignant masses (renal cell carcinomas), and focuses on possible future treatment.

Abstract
Purpose. Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) can contribute to acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients undergoing endovascular aortic aneurysm surgery. We evaluated the incidence of AKI together with the evolution of early biomarkers of renal injury in patients receiving bicarbonates or NaCl 0.9%. Methods. This study involved endovascular aortic aneurysm surgery patients. Group A (n = 17) received bicarbonates 3 mL/kg/h for 1 h before the procedure and then 1 mL/kg/h until 6 h after surgery, whereas group B (n = 17) received NaCl 0.9% using the same protocol. Biomarkers of renal injury from urine (interleukin-18 (IL-18), neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (NAG), and kidney injury molecule 1 (KIM-1)) and blood (NGAL, cystatin C) were measured at baseline and 3, 24, and 48 h postoperatively. Results. AKI occurred in 1 patient (2.9%), in the bicarbonates group. IL-18, NAG, NGAL, and KIM-1 significantly rose in both groups after the surgery. There was a greater rise in NGAL and IL-18 after 3 h in the bicarbonates versus NaCl 0.9% group: 1115% versus 240% increase (P = 0.03) and 338% increase versus 1.4% decrease (P = 0.01). Conclusions. Despite significant elevation in biomarkers of renal injury, we demonstrated a low rate of AKI following endovascular aortic surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CIAKI) has been linked to unfavorable consequences. In routine clinical practice, small increases in serum creatinine (SCr) following coronary angiography tend to be underestimated, especially in patients without chronic kidney disease (CKD). METHODS We conducted a retrospective observational cohort study to analyze in-hospital and long-term outcomes of CIAKI following coronary angiography in patients with or without CKD (eGFR ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m(2)) from January 2008 through December 2009. CIAKI was defined as SCr either ≥ 25% or ≥ 0.5 mg/dL from baseline within 72 h after contrast exposure. Multivariable logistic regression for in-hospital mortality and Cox proportional hazards calculations for long-term mortality and requirement for dialysis were performed. RESULTS A total of 1160 patients were included in the study. CIAKI occurred in 19% of CKD patients and in 18% of non-CKD patients. In CKD and non-CKD patients, CIAKI was more frequent in patients requiring mechanical ventilation or inotropes or in those given furosemide, and it was associated with adverse in-hospital (prolonged hospitalization, acute dialysis and mortality) and long-term (increased creatinine, initiation of dialysis and mortality) outcomes. In multivariable analysis, CKD patients had greater in-hospital mortality if they developed CIAKI (adjusted OR 8, 95% CI 1.9-34.5, P = 0.005), and non-CKD patients had greater long-term mortality if they developed CIAKI (adjusted HR 2.2, 95% CI 1.2-4.1, P = 0.016). CONCLUSIONS CIAKI following coronary angiography was associated with adverse in-hospital and long-term outcomes in both CKD and non-CKD patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE Stringent radiological follow-up is essential after renal tumor ablation. Drawbacks of postablation follow-up by contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) are the associated ionizing radiation and nephrotoxic contrast agent. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) has shown potential to demonstrate microvasculature without using either ionizing radiation or toxic contrast agent. We assessed the concordance of enhancement patterns of CEUS and CECT/MRI in cryolesion assessment after laparoscopic renal cryoablation (LCA). METHODS From 01/2006 to 01/2009, a CEUS was performed before and after LCA (3 and 12 months) in addition to regular CECT/MRI. Using an enhancement score (0=no enhancement, 1=rim enhancement, 2=diffuse enhancement, 3=localized enhancement, 4=no enhancement defect), the cryolesion was assessed by both modalities, and concordance of enhancement score was assessed. RESULTS In total, 45 tumors were included (29 biopsy proven renal cell carcinoma (RCC), mean size 2.66 cm). One cryoablation failed, resulting in a nonenhancing cryolesion apart from the persisting renal tumor. There were no postablation recurrences during the study period. Pre-LCA: Both modalities were available in 26 cases. In 20 out of 26, there was concordance of enhancement score (77%, all cases score 3 or 4). Three months: Both modalities were available in 32 cases. Enhancement score corresponded in 23 out of 32 cases (72%). Seven cases showed enhancement on CECT/MRI ("1" in six cases, "4" in one case) with enhancement score "0"on CEUS. Two cases showed enhancement on CEUS without enhancement on CECT/MRI (specificity 92%, negative predictive value [NPV] 77%). Except one case, all enhancement resolved on subsequent imaging. Twelve months: Both modalities were available in 21 tumors. Enhancement score corresponded in 19 out of 21 cases (91%). Two cases showed enhancement on CEUS without enhancement on CECT/MRI (specificity 90%, NPV 100%). CONCLUSION This pilot study shows that CEUS is a safe imaging technique with high concordance of enhancement score between CEUS and CECT/MRI. While cross-sectional imaging seems sensible to demonstrate successful ablation at first follow-up, CEUS might be used to diminish the burden of contrast-enhanced cross-sectional imaging in the long-term follow-up.

Abstract
OPINION STATEMENT Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) is an important complication associated with coronary angiography, percutaneous coronary intervention, and computed tomography studies. The increasing utilization of contrast agents for imaging makes the importance of this complication even greater. Patients can be risk stratified for the risk of contrast-induced AKI by several clinical factors including hypotension, renal function, age, advanced heart failure, anemia, and diabetes mellitus. Contrast volume is also an important and modifiable risk factor for AKI. For the prevention of contrast-induced AKI, multiple approaches have been tried. The most effective prevention strategy is hydration. Normal saline has been the standard, but other options such as sodium bicarbonate may be a reasonable alternative. Further studies will be required to clarify the best preventive strategies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Saline infusion is widely used to prevent contrast media (CM)-induced acute kidney injury, because it fosters diuresis. Osmodiuretics have a stronger diuretic effect than saline, yet previous trials indicate that osmodiuretic mannitol tends to promote rather than to prevent CM-induced acute kidney injury. However, these studies used hypertonic mannitol solutions that will result in rebound volume contraction. We hypothesize that combining the osmodiuretic effects of a nonhypertonic mannitol solution with sustained volume expansion alleviates undesirable renal effects of CM. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-four anesthetized rats were studied by 4 protocols. Urine flow rate, urine viscosity, and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) were measured. Intravenous infusions of hydration solutions were initiated 60 minutes before CM administration and continued throughout the observation period. Hydration by a 3.2% mannitol and 3.2% glucose solution infused at 12 mL/kg per hour (Mannit-Gluc regimen) was compared with a standard regimen of isotonic saline at 4 mL/kg per hour (NaCl regimen); greater infusion rates are required for the Mannit-Gluc regimen because of the profound diuretic effect of mannitol. Two CM were studied: iso-osmolar iodixanol (320 mg I/mL) and low-osmolar iopromide (370 mg I/mL), they were administered as 1.5-mL bolus injection into the thoracic aorta. RESULTS The Mannit-Gluc regimen resulted in higher urine flow rates than the standard NaCl regimen, yet maintained a good volume status. By virtue of its stronger diuretic effect, the Mannit-Gluc regimen greatly diminished the increase in urine viscosity and completely prevented the transient decrease in GFR caused by iodixanol with the NaCl regimen. After iopromide, the differences between the hydration regimens were much less, as iopromide increased urine flow rates much more than iodixanol, thus resulting in a much smaller increase in viscosity than iodixanol and no decrease in GFR even with the NaCl regimen. CONCLUSION This proof of principle study shows that a hydration regimen that combines the osmodiuretic effect of a low-osmolar mannitol-glucose solution with sustained volume expansion is effective in reducing high urine viscosity and preventing GFR reduction caused by iso-osmolar iodixanol. For low-osmolar CM, the beneficial effects seem negligible, because these compounds per se exert greater osmodiuretic action.

Abstract
Radiocontrast-induced nephropathy (RCIN) is an acute and severe complication after coronary angiography, particularly for patients with pre-existing chronic kidney disease (CKD). It has been associated with both short- and long-term adverse outcomes, including the need for renal replacement therapy, increased length of hospital stay, major cardiac adverse events, and mortality. RCIN is generally defined as an increase in serum creatinine concentration of 0.5 mg/dL or 25% above baseline within 48 h after contrast administration. There is no effective therapy once injury has occurred, therefore, prevention is the cornerstone for all patients at risk for acute kidney injury (AKI). There is a small but growing body of evidence that prevention of AKI is associated with a reduction in later adverse outcomes. The optimal strategy for preventing RCIN has not yet been established. This review discusses the principal risk factors for RCIN, evaluates and summarizes the evidence for RCIN prophylaxis, and proposes recommendations for preventing RCIN in CKD patients undergoing coronary angiography.

Abstract
In general, iodinated contrast media (CM) are tolerated well, and CM use is steadily increasing. Acute kidney injury is the leading life-threatening side effect of CM. Here, we highlight endpoints used to assess CM-induced acute kidney injury (CIAKI), CM types, risk factors, and CIAKI prevention. Moreover, we put forward a unifying theory as to how CIAKI comes about; the kidney medulla's unique hyperosmolar environment concentrates CM in the tubules and vasculature. Highly concentrated CM in the tubules and vessels increases fluid viscosity. Thus, flow through medullary tubules and vessels decreases. Reducing the flow rate will increase the contact time of cytotoxic CM with the tubular epithelial cells and vascular endothelium, and thereby damage cells and generate oxygen radicals. As a result, medullary vasoconstriction takes place, causing hypoxia. Moreover, the glomerular filtration rate declines due to congestion of highly viscous tubular fluid. Effective prevention aims at reducing the medullary concentration of CM, thereby diminishing fluid viscosity. This is achieved by generous hydration using isotonic electrolyte solutions. Even forced diuresis may prove efficient if accompanied by adequate volume supplementation. Limiting the CM dose is the most effective measure to diminish fluid viscosity and to reduce cytotoxic effects.

Abstract
Renal artery stenosis (RAS) is an important cause of renal failure; however, the factors associated with loss of kidney function in patients with RAS are poorly described, as are the predictors of an improvement in kidney function after stenting. One hundred patients at seven centers undergoing renal stenting were randomly assigned to an embolic protection device or double-blind use of a platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor. The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was measured using the creatinine-derived modified Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) equation, cystatin C, and iohexol clearance. In univariate and multivariate models, baseline MDRD and cystatin C GFR were associated with congestive heart failure (CHF) (p = 0.01), lesion length (p = 0.01), and percent stenosis (-0.27, p = 0.01). In multivariate models, MDRD-estimated GFR 1 month after stenting was associated with bilateral stenosis (p < 0.05) and lesion length (p < 0.05), whereas with cystatin C the multivariate model included angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) (p < 0.05) and minimal luminal diameter (MLD) (p < 0.05). The improvement in GFR from baseline to 1 month, measured as percent change, was related to baseline MDRD (p = 0.009) and cystatin C (p = 0.03) GFR. For MDRD GFR combined treatment with abciximab and Angioguard(®) embolic protection (p = 0.02) remained significant in multivariate analysis as did CHF, which was also significant with cystatin C (p = 0.05). In conclusion, CHF and lesion characteristics (MLD, percent stenosis and lesion length) are determinants of renal function in patients with RAS. In contrast, the acute improvement in renal function after revascularization is most strongly influenced by baseline GFR, and to a lesser degree CHF and combined procedural treatment with abciximab and embolic protection but not lesion characteristics.

Abstract
Cardiac and kidney diseases are very common, and increasingly coexist. Classification for cardiorenal syndrome and for its specific subtypes has been developed and published recently by a consensus group of the Acute Dialysis Quality Initiative. Cardiorenal syndromes have been classified according to whether the impairment of each organ is primary, secondary or whether heart and kidney dysfunction occurs simultaneously as a systemic disease. The different syndromes were classified into five subtypes. Type-1: acute cardiorenal syndrome: an abrupt worsening of cardiac function leading to acute kidney injury and/or dysfunction. Type-2: chronic cardiorenal syndrome: chronic abnormalities in cardiac function causing kidney injury and/or dysfunction. Type-3: acute renocardiac syndrome: abrupt worsening of kidney function leading to heart injury and/or dysfunction. Type-4: chronic renocardiac syndrome: chronic kidney diseases leading to heart injury, disease and/or dysfunction. Type-5: secondary cardiorenal syndrome: acute or chronic systemic diseases leading to simultaneous injury and/or dysfunction of heart and kidney. The identification of patients and the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying each syndrome subtype will help cardiologists, nephrologists and physicians working on intensive care units to characterize groups of their patients with cardiac and renal impairment and to provide a more accurate treatment for them.

Abstract
The intravascular administration of iodine-based contrast media remains a common cause of acute kidney injury and a leading cause of iatrogenic renal disease. Past research has elucidated the principal risk factors for contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CIAKI) and helped to establish the efficacy of various interventions for the prevention of this condition. The importance of preventing CIAKI has been underscored by a growing number of studies showing strong associations of CIAKI with serious adverse short- and long-term outcomes. However, it remains unclear whether these associations are causal. This is important because considerable health care resources are used to prevent CIAKI. If CIAKI is a marker, but not a mediator, of serious adverse downstream outcomes, more judicious and selective use of preventive care may be appropriate. Moreover, with an increasing number of studies reporting the underuse of coronary angiography in patients with acute coronary syndrome and underlying chronic kidney disease, presumably in part because of a fear of CIAKI, a clear understanding of whether this condition directly results in adverse downstream outcomes is essential. Careful inspection of past studies that investigated the association of CIAKI with adverse short- and long-term events sheds light on their strengths and weaknesses and provides insight into how future research may be better able to characterize the short- and long-term implications of this iatrogenic condition.

Abstract
Aging kidneys undergo structural and functional changes that decrease autoregulatory capacity and increase susceptibility to acute injury. Acute kidney injury associates with duration and location of hospitalization, mortality risk, progression to chronic kidney disease, and functional status in daily living. Definition and diagnosis of acute kidney injury are based on changes in creatinine, which is an inadequate marker and might identify patients when it is too late. The incidence of acute kidney injury is rising and increases with advancing age, yet clinical studies have been slow to address geriatric issues or the heterogeneity in etiologies, outcomes, or patient preferences among the elderly. Here we examine some of the current literature, identify knowledge gaps, and suggest potential research questions regarding acute kidney injury in older adults. Answering these questions will facilitate the integration of geriatric issues into future mechanistic and clinical studies that affect management and care of acute kidney injury.
