Causes of acute renal dysfunction after percutaneous coronary intervention and comparison of late mortality rates with postprocedure rise of creatine kinase-MB versus rise of serum creatinine

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.amjcard.2004.06.007Get rights and content

Increases in both serum creatinine and creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) after percutaneous coronary intervention are associated with increased risk for late adverse cardiovascular events. In 5,397 patients, the strength of the association of each with late events and the risk factors for each of these markers were compared. A postprocedural increase in creatinine was a more powerful predictor of late mortality than an increase in CK-MB. Risk factors for an increase in creatinine are similar to those for contrast-induced nephropathy, suggesting that vulnerability to such injury may identify patients with increased risk for late mortality.

    There are several potential explanations for this finding. First, patients with more complex coronary disease typically require more significant and challenging interventions in the catheterization lab, and it has been previously shown that complex PCI is associated with greater risk for postprocedural contrast nephropathy.21 In our findings from ACUITY, this is suggested by the fact that both the number of vessels treated and procedure time increased significantly with SS.

    However, CI-AKI has been reported to occur in up to 50% of patients with diabetic nephropathy and a mean serum creatinine of 5.9 mg/dl.30 Several studies have reported an association between CI-AKI and an increased incidence of myocardial infarction, target vessel revascularization, and death after PCI.31,32 Currently, the mechanism causing CI-AKI is incompletely understood, but direct cytotoxicity of iodinated contrast agents and disturbances in renal hemodynamics have been identified to be contributing factors.33
