The Effect of Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System Blockade Medications on Contrast-Induced Nephropathy in Patients Undergoing Coronary Angiography: A Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is the main complication of contrast media administration (CM) in patients undergoing coronary angiography (CAG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). There are inconsistent results in the literature regarding the effect of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) blockers (angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors [ACEIs] and angiotensin receptor blockers [ARBs]) on CIN. We evaluated the association between the administration of ACEI/ARBs and CIN, as well as the effect of ACEI/ARBs on post-procedural changes in renal function index, in patients undergoing CAG.

Methods

We searched Pubmed, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials and ClinicalTrials.gov for relevant studies. The primary search generated 893 potentially relevant articles. A total of 879 studies were excluded because they did not meet the selection criteria. Finally, 14 studies were eligible for inclusion. There were 7,288 patients that received ACEI/ARBs and 8,159 patients that received placebo or naive to ACEI/ARBs in the study. A random or a fixed effect model was used to calculate the pooled odd ratios (ORs).

Results

The risk of CIN was significantly increased in the ACEI/ARBs group compared to the control group (OR= 1.50, 95%CI: 1.03-2.18, P =0.03). The magnitude of association was significantly reinforced in the observational studies (OR=1.84, 95%CI 1.19-2.85, P=0.006) but not in the randomized controlled trials (OR=0.88, 95%CI 0.41-1.90 P=0.74). The summary adjusted OR of 4 observational studies was 1.56 (95%CI 1.25-1.94, P<0.0001) and was weaker than the unadjusted OR.

Conclusions

Although there is some evidence to suggest that the administration of RAAS blockers was associated with the increased risk of CIN in patients undergoing CAG, the robustness of our study remains weak. The results are based on small observational studies and need further validation.

Project description:IntroductionRenin-angiotensin system (RAS) blockade using angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi)/angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) is first-line therapy for IgA nephropathy (IgAN). There is a paucity of information on the predictors and magnitude of response to this treatment.MethodsIn a prospective study, treatment-naive patients with IgAN with urinary protein ≥ 1 g/d and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥ 30 ml/min per 1.73 m2 received supportive treatment including ACEi (ramipril) or ARB (losartan) in patients intolerant to ACEi, and optimal blood pressure (BP) control to ≤130/80 mm Hg, with a follow-up of 6 months. The primary outcome was remission of proteinuria. Complete remission (CR) was defined as proteinuria < 0.5 g/d and partial remission (PR) as proteinuria < 1g/d with at least a 50% decline from the baseline with stable renal function (≤ 25% reduction in eGFR).ResultsA total of 96 patients were analyzed, with a mean age of 33.3 ± 10.2 years, baseline eGFR 74.0 ± 30.9 ml/min per 1.73 m2, and urinary protein 2.6 ± 1.2 g/d. In all, 71.9% patients received ≥ 75% of the maximum approved dose of ACEi/ARB. Remission was observed in 36.5% (CR, 6.3%) patients at 3 months and in 55.2% (CR, 31.3%) at 6 months. Patients who failed to achieve remission had lower baseline eGFR (P = 0.002) and serum albumin levels (P< 0.001), asymptomatic hyperuricemia (P < 0.001), and higher proteinuria (P = 0.076). E1 (P= 0.053) and T1/T2 (P = 0.009) lesions were more frequent on histology. The ACEi/ARB had to be discontinued in 17 (17.7%) patients. These patients were older (P= 0.085) with lower eGFR (P < 0.002) and serum albumin levels (P = 0.001) and more E1 (P = 0.012) and T1/T2 (P = 0.001) lesions on histology.ConclusionMeticulous supportive therapy with optimal use of ACEi/ARB achieved remission in half of IgAN patients in this study. Increasing the treatment duration to 6 months improved remission rates. Patients with severe clinical and histological disease were less likely to tolerate and respond to treatment with RAS blockade.
