Insights

Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) incidence in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) patients ranges from 6-24%. Advanced age, male gender, diabetes, hypertension, and contrast volume are key risk factors for CIN.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Cardiology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is a significant complication following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
  • Identifying incidence and risk factors for CIN is crucial for patient management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review scientific evidence on the incidence of CIN in patients undergoing PCI.
  • To identify factors associated with CIN development.
  • To elucidate preventive measures for CIN.

Main Methods:

  • An integrative review of literature.
  • Searched databases: VHL, PubMed, VHL Regional Portal, SciELO.
  • Included articles published between 2014 and 2019.

Main Results:

  • The incidence of CIN ranged from 6% to 24%.
  • Key risk factors identified: advanced age, male gender, diabetes mellitus, systemic arterial hypertension, contrast volume, and osmolarity.
  • Effective prophylactic agents include intravenous hydration, sodium bicarbonate, ascorbic acid, and statins.

Conclusions:

  • This review highlights major risk factors for CIN in PCI patients.
  • Identified preventive strategies can guide multidisciplinary healthcare for safe and quality patient care.

Cardiac Catheterization I: Pre-Procedure Overview

Cardiac catheterization is an invasive diagnostic technique used to identify and evaluate structural and functional diseases of the heart and major blood vessels. This technique diagnoses congenital heart disease, coronary artery disease, valvular heart disease, and coronary spasms and assesses ventricular function. It helps guide treatment decisions, including the need for revascularization procedures like percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and...

Acute Coronary Syndrome IV: Interprofessional Care

IntroductionThe management of Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) aims to minimize myocardial damage, preserve myocardial function, and prevent complications.Initial ManagementInpatient management involves continuous cardiac monitoring, preferably in an ICU, focusing on blood pressure, serum sodium, potassium, and creatinine levels, and urine output. Ongoing pharmacologic management is crucial for stabilizing the patient.Supplemental Oxygen: Administer supplemental oxygen if oxygen saturation is...

Acute Kidney Injury IV: Diagnostic Studies and Prevention

Accurate diagnosis and effective prevention are critical in managing Acute Kidney Injury (AKI), which is linked to high mortality rates ranging from 10% to 80%. Timely recognition of at-risk patients and careful monitoring can significantly reduce the likelihood of kidney damage.Diagnostic Assessments:The diagnostic process starts with a comprehensive medical history to identify prerenal, intrarenal, and postrenal causes.Prerenal causes, such as dehydration, hypotension, or blood loss, should...

Acute Kidney Injury I: Introduction

Introduction:Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) describes a swift decrease in kidney function occurring over hours to days, characterized by the kidneys' failure to remove waste products from the bloodstream. This leads to dangerous complications like metabolic acidosis, fluid overload, and electrolyte imbalances, such as hyperkalemia, which can cause life-threatening arrhythmias. AKI is common in both hospital and outpatient settings, often triggered by dehydration, sepsis, or exposure to nephrotoxic...

Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy01:30

Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy

Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy, also known as CRRT, is a procedural treatment for acute kidney injury (AKI) that gradually removes uremic toxins and fluids while maintaining acid-base balance and stabilizing electrolytes. It is particularly useful for hemodynamically unstable patients. Unlike intermittent hemodialysis, which is faster, CRRT provides a gentler approach over 24 hours, closely mimicking the function of natural kidneys. However, CRRT is not ideal for patients with...
