Serum creatinine(Scr)and e GFR were assessed at the time of admission to hospital,and on days 1,2 and 3 after angiography. Urine neutrophil-gelatinase-associated-lipocalin(NGAL),kidney injury molecule-1(KIM-1) and interleukin-18(IL-18) were measured before angiography and at day 1 after angiography for all patients. The primary end point was the prevalence of CIN. The secondary end point was a 25% or greater reduction in e GFR.RESULTS: CIN occurred in 11 of 120 patients(9.17 %). The prevalence of CIN was lower in the DCXC treatment groups than in the basic treatment group(P < 0.05),with a more significant decrease in the prevalence of CIN in the intensive DCXC therapy group(P < 0.01). Compared with the basic treatment group,a lower proportion of patients in the DCXC treatment groups had an e GFR decrease of 25% or greater(P < 0.05); patients with an e GFR decrease of 25% or greater accounted for an even lower proportion in the intensive DCXC therapy group(P < 0.01). Within 1 day of the procedure,urine levels of KIM-1,NGAL and IL-18 in patients in the intensive DCXC therapy group were lower than those in the basic treatment group and standard therapy group(P < 0.05).CONCLUSION: DCXC treatment may protect against CIN in patients with type 2 diabetes and renal insufficiency undergoing coronary angiography,with intensive DCXC therapy being more effective.展开更多

We investigated whether the presence of significant ARAS (luminal diameter narrowing ≥70%) could be predicted using a logistic regression model before coronary angiography/intervention. Methods:Initially, we developed a logistic regression model for detecting significant ARAS based upon clinical and angiographic features and biochemical measurements in a cohort of 1 813 patients undergoing transfemoral coronary and renal angiography. This model was then prospectively applied to an additional 495 patients who received transradial renal angiography to ascertain its predictive accuracy for the presence of significant ARAS. Results:Multivariate regression analysis revealed that older age (≥65 years), resistant hypertension, type 2 diabetes, creatinine clearance (Ccr) ≤60 ml/min, and multivessel coronary disease were independent predictors for significant ARAS. A logistic regression model for detecting ARAS by incorporating conventional risk factors and multivessel coronary disease was generated as:P/(1 P)=exp( 2.618+1.112[age≥65 years]+1.891[resistant hypertension]+0.453[type 2 diabetes]+0.587[Ccr≤60 ml/min]+2.254[multivessel coronary disease]). When this regression model was prospectively applied to the additional 495 patients undergoing transradial coronary and renal angiography, significant ARAS could be detected with a sensitivity of 81.2%, specificity of 88.9%, and positive and negative predictive accuracies of 53.8% and 96.7%, respectively. Conclusions:The logistic regression model generated in this study may be useful for screening for significant ARAS in patients undergoing transradial coronary angiography/intervention.展开更多
