Insights

Elevated systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) is a risk factor for contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) after elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This association is particularly strong in male patients, highlighting SII as a potential predictive biomarker.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Nephrology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Elevated systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) is linked to coronary heart disease and adverse outcomes.
  • The association between SII and contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) in patients undergoing elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains unclear.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between SII and the development of CIN in patients undergoing elective PCI.
  • To identify SII as a potential predictive biomarker for CIN in this patient population.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective study of 241 patients undergoing elective PCI between March 2018 and July 2020.
  • CIN defined by serum creatinine increase (≥0.5 mg/dL or ≥25% from baseline) within 48-72 hours post-PCI.
  • Correlation analysis, multivariate logistic regression, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis were performed.

Main Results:

  • Patients with CIN exhibited significantly higher SII levels compared to those without.
  • SII positively correlated with uric acid and negatively with estimated glomerular filtration rate.
  • Elevated log2(SII) was an independent risk factor for CIN (OR=2.686), especially in males (OR=3.669).
  • ROC analysis indicated an SII cutoff of 586.19 for predicting CIN with 75% sensitivity and 54.2% specificity.

Conclusions:

  • Elevated SII is an independent risk factor for CIN development in patients undergoing elective PCI.
  • The association between SII and CIN is more pronounced in male patients.
  • SII may serve as a valuable predictive biomarker for CIN in elective PCI patients, particularly males.

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...

Pericarditis I: Introduction

Pericarditis is defined as the inflammation of the pericardium, the thin, sac-like membrane surrounding the heart. This condition can cause significant chest pain and other symptoms, often necessitating medical intervention. The pericardium has two layers: the inner visceral layer and the outer parietal layer, separated by a small amount of fluid that reduces friction during heartbeats.Types of PericarditisPericarditis can be classified into several types based on the duration and nature of the...

IntroductionNephrotic syndrome is a kidney disorder marked by excessive protein loss in the urine, leading to various systemic complications. This condition often results from damage to the glomeruli—the kidney's filtering units—causing proteinuria, low blood protein levels, and fluid retention. Understanding the assessment, diagnosis, and management of nephrotic syndrome is essential for effective treatment and prevention of further kidney damage.AssessmentPatient History: Document...
