Abstract

Background: Iodinated contrast material injections may lead to a serious angiography complication known as contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN).

Objectives: This study aimed to compare the contrast medium volume (CMV) to the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention who have diabetes and those who do not.

Methods: This Prospective Cohort research included 200 individuals, regardless of sex, over the age of 18, who underwent elective or emergent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Subjects were separated into two equal groups: Group "I" had 100 diabetic individuals.

Group "II" included 100 patients without diabetes.

Results: Diabetics had a considerably higher CMV/eGFR ratio than non-diabetics, and positive CIN was greater than negative CIN. At a cut-off of >1.3, the CMV/eGFR ratio can strongly predict CIN, with 35% of diabetic patients developing CIN and only 15% of non-diabetics developing CIN.

Conclusion: The CMV/eGFR ratio can indicate CIN in diabetic and non-diabetic patients after PCI, and it is considerably greater in diabetic than non-diabetic groups. Because it shows the quantity of contrast medium and renal function, two major risk factors for CIN development, it has predictive value.
