Long-Term (3 Years) Prognosis of Contrast-Induced Acute Kidney Injury After Coronary Angiography

Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) after coronary angiography or interventions is relatively frequent and portends adverse outcomes. The lack of a “universally accepted” definition, however, limits the integration and comparison of available data. We aimed to detect the CI-AKI definition...

Description
Summary:Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) after coronary angiography or interventions is relatively frequent and portends adverse outcomes. The lack of a “universally accepted” definition, however, limits the integration and comparison of available data. We aimed to detect the CI-AKI definition that best correlates with the occurrence of clinical events at long-term in a 3-year follow-up study of patients at intermediate-to-high risk for CI-AKI. Furthermore, we sought to describe the incidence and long-term evolution of persistent renal damage (PRD) after CI-AKI and clarify the role of early (
