Frequency of Contrast Induced Acute Kidney Injury in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Catheterization at Jinnah Hospital Lahore

Abstract

Objective: To determine the frequency of contrast induced acute kidney injury in patients undergoing cardiac catheterization in Jinnah Hospital, Lahore.
Material & Methods: It was a cross sectional study conducted at the cardiology department of Jinnah Hospital. After taking ethical approval from Ethical Review Board (Ref No. ERB130/2/03-11-2022), the study was completed in six months i.e. from 04-11-2022 to 30-04-2023.Total of 217 patients of either sex who underwent cardiac catheterization were included in the study. CI-AKI was defined as increase of serum creatinine 0.5mg/dl or 25% increase from baseline creatinine within 48 hours after exposure to contrast material.
Results: Of total 217patients, 54.8% were male and 45.2% were female. 25 patients (11.5%) in study population developed CI-AKI . Risk of developing CI-AKI was clearly associated with old age, diabetes, hypertension, coronary artery disease and angioplasty.(p <0.05)
Conclusion: The conclusion of the study was that frequency of CI-AKI in subjects undergoing cardiac catheterization is 11.5% which is quite significant. Old age, history of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, ischemic heart disease and angioplasty were significantly related with higher risk of developing CI-AKI.
