Insights

The systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) is a significant predictor of contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI). Higher SII levels are associated with an increased incidence of CI-AKI in patients undergoing coronary angiography.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Nephrology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • The systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) is an emerging indicator correlated with cardiovascular diseases.
  • Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is a significant concern in patients undergoing procedures involving intravascular contrast agents.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the association between the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and the incidence of contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI).

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective cross-sectional study included 4,381 subjects undergoing coronary angiography (CAG).
  • The systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) was calculated as neutrophil count × platelet count/lymphocyte count.
  • Multivariable regression, ROC analysis, and structural equation modeling were employed to assess the relationship between SII and CI-AKI.

Main Results:

  • 17.9% of patients developed CI-AKI post-contrast administration.
  • Higher SII levels were linearly associated with increased serum creatinine elevation (β = 0.315, P < 0.001).
  • Elevated SII demonstrated a significant association with increased CI-AKI incidence (OR = 2.914, P < 0.001) and showed a stronger direct effect than C-reactive protein.

Conclusions:

  • The systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) is an independent predictor for CI-AKI in patients undergoing coronary angiography.
  • SII has a good predictive value for CI-AKI, suggesting its utility in risk stratification.

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: Introduction01:22

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...

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 Kidney Injury II: Pathophysiology

Acute kidney injury (AKI) causes are categorized into three primary categories based on the location of the injury: prerenal, intrarenal (or intrinsic), and postrenal causes. This classification guides clinical management and illustrates how different pathways can impair kidney function.Etiology and Pathophysiology of Acute Kidney Injury1. Prerenal causesEtiology: Prerenal Acute Kidney Injury, the most common type, occurs when reduced blood flow to the kidneys decreases filtration capacity...

Acute Kidney Injury III: Clinical Manifestations

Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) progresses through distinct clinical phases: the oliguric, diuretic, and recovery phases, each marked by unique manifestations and challenges.Oliguric Phase:The oliguric phase is the initial stage of AKI, typically lasting 10 to 14 days. This phase is marked by a significant reduction in urine output, usually less than 400 mL per day, indicating decreased kidney function. Fluid retention is a prominent feature, leading to symptoms such as edema, hypertension, and...

Acute Coronary Syndrome III: Diagnostic Studies

Diagnosing acute coronary syndrome or ACS begins with a thorough patient history. Notable symptoms include central, crushing chest pain radiating to the left arm, neck, jaw, or back, along with shortness of breath, sweating (diaphoresis), nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and palpitations.It is crucial to note any history of cardiac illnesses and assess risk factors, including age, gender, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and a sedentary lifestyle.During physical examination, vital...
