The predictive value of the product of contrast medium volume and urinary albumin/creatinine ratio in contrast-induced acute kidney injury.

ABSTRACT: Preexisting renal impairment and the amount of contrast media are the most important risk factors for contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI). We aimed to investigate whether the product of contrast medium volume and urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (CMV?×?UACR) would be a better predictor of CI-AKI in patients undergoing nonemergency coronary interventions. This was a prospective single-center observational study, and 912 consecutive patients who were exposed to contrast media during coronary interventions were investigated prospectively. CI-AKI is defined as a 44.2??mol/L rise in serum creatinine or a 25% increase, assessed within 48?h after administration of contrast media in the absence of other causes. Fifty patients (5.48%) developed CI-AKI. The urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (UACR) (OR?=?1.002, 95% CI?=?1.000-1.003, p?=?.012) and contrast medium volume (CMV) (OR?=?1.008, 95% CI?=?1.001-1.014, p?=?.017) were independent risk factors for the development of CI-AKI. The area under the ROC curve of CMV, UACR and CMV?×?UACR were 0.662 (95% CI?=?0.584-0.741, p?
