METHODS： One-hundred and three SAP inpatients were divided randomly into two groups： basic treat- ment （n=51） and Dongchongxiacao （Cordyceps） treatment （n=52）; corbrin capsules （3 g; t.d.s.） were used 3 days before angioplasty and 3 days after an- gioplasty）. Serum creatinine （Scr） was assessed at the time of hospital admission and 1, 2, and 3 days after angioplasty. Values of kidney injury mole- cule-1 （KIM-1）, neutrophil gelatinase-associated li- pocalin （NGAL） and interleukin （IL） 18 in the kidney were detected before angioplasty and 1 day after angioplasty in the patients of both groups. The prevalence of CIN between the two groups was then compared. RESULTS： CIN occurred in 9 of 103 patients （8.74%）. The prevalence of CIN in the Dongchongxiacao （Cordyceps） treatment group was lower than that of the basic treatment group （5.77% vs 11.76%） but the difference was not significant （P〉0.05）. The post-procedure mean peak of Scr, post-procedure increase in Scr levels from baseline, and urine levelsof KIM-1, NGAL and IL18 after the procedure in the Dongchongxiacao （Corclyceps） treatment group were significantly lower than those in the basic treatment group （P〈0.05）. CONCLUSION： Prophylactic treatment with Dongchongxiacao （Cordyceps） in SAP patients who undergo coronary angiography or coronary inter- vention could prevent contrast-induced renal im- pairment.展开更多
