Volume-to-creatinine clearance ratio： a predictor for contrast-induced nephropathy in chronic kidney disease after primary percutaneous coronary intervention

The volume of contrast media to the creatinine clearance （V/CrCl） ratio correlate with the contrast-induced nephropathy （CIN）. The chronic kidney disease （CKD） more likely to develop CIN after primary percutaneous coronary intervention （PCI）. Objectiv has been shown to patients would be e To determine a relatively safe V/CrCl cutoff value to avoid CIN in CKD patients undergoing primary PCI. Methods We enrolled a total of 114 patients with CKD and calculated V/CrCl. Receiver-operator characteristic methods were used to identify the optimal sensitivity and specificity for the observed range of V/CrCl for CIN. We used multivariable logistic regression to assess the predictive value of V/CrCl for the risk of CIN in CKD patients. Results Overall, there were 24 cases （21%） of CIN. The baseline mean and median V/CrCl values were significantly greater among patients with CIN （mean 5.08 ±2.01, median 4.81, and interquartile range 3.53-6.33） than among those without CIN （mean 3.35 ±1.48, median 3.12, and interquartile range 2.27-4.14, P 〈 0.001）. The receiveroperator characteristic curve analysis indicated that a V/CrCl ratio of 3.62 was a fair discriminator for CIN （Cstatistic of 0.75） in CKD patients. After adjusting for other known predictors of CIN,a V/CrCl ratio 〉3.62 remained significantly associated with CIN in CKD patients（odds ratio 8.46,95% confidence interval 2.37-30.19, P 〈 0.001）. medium dose Conclusions based on the AV/CrCl ratio〉3.62 is a simple,useful indicator for determining the safe contrast pre-PCI CrCl values in CKDs.
