After exposure to contrast medium (CM), about 10% of patients will develop contrast medium-induced nephropathy (CIN), with severe consequences for their prognosis. Although numerous studies evaluated risk factors for CIN development, it is still a matter of debate whether treatment with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE-I) or AT-1 blockers increases the frequency of CIN after exposure to CM or not.
We performed a prospective, single-centre study (January 2001-July 2004) to compare different treatments for CIN prevention. Creatinine levels within 72 h after CM application and in-hospital outcomes were documented. The impact of RAAS blockade on the frequency of CIN was assessed retrospectively.
Four hundred twelve patients were included (83.5% men, 29.1% diabetes mellitus, 74.6% hypertension). Of these, 269 patients (65.3%) were taking ACE-I (n = 236) or AT-1 blockers (n = 33). There were no significant differences in mean age (P = 0.075), creatinine levels (P = 0.113), gender (P = 0.281), diabetes mellitus (P = 0.172) or left ventricular ejection fraction (P = 0.09) between patients treated or not treated with RAAS blockade. Univariate analyses concerning development of CIN depending on treatment with RAAS blockade within 72 h found CIN to be significantly higher in patients treated with RAAS blockade (11.9 vs 4.2%, P = 0.006). Multivariate analyses (logistic regression) identified RAAS blockade to be an independent predictor of CIN (odds ratio 3.082, 95% confidence interval 1.234-7.698, P = 0.016).
Patients treated with RAAS blockade before exposure to CM develop significantly more often CIN within 72 h. Even after adjustment for confounding comorbidities, treatment with ACE-I or AT-1 blockers turned out to be an independent risk predictor.
接触造影剂(CM)后,约 10%的患者会发生造影剂诱导的肾病(CIN),对其预后产生严重后果。尽管许多研究评估了 CIN 发展的危险因素,但 ACEI 或 AT-1 阻滞剂治疗是否会增加 CM 暴露后 CIN 的频率仍存在争议。
我们进行了一项前瞻性、单中心研究(2001 年 1 月至 2004 年 7 月),比较了不同的 CIN 预防治疗方法。记录 CM 应用后 72 小时内的肌酐水平和院内结局。回顾性评估 RAAS 阻断对 CIN 频率的影响。
共纳入 412 例患者(83.5%为男性,29.1%患有糖尿病,74.6%患有高血压)。其中 269 例(65.3%)患者正在服用 ACEI(n=236)或 AT-1 阻滞剂(n=33)。接受或未接受 RAAS 阻断治疗的患者之间的平均年龄(P=0.075)、肌酐水平(P=0.113)、性别(P=0.281)、糖尿病(P=0.172)或左心室射血分数(P=0.09)无显著差异。在接受或未接受 RAAS 阻断治疗的患者中,在 72 小时内发生 CIN 的单变量分析发现,接受 RAAS 阻断治疗的患者 CIN 发生率显著更高(11.9% vs 4.2%,P=0.006)。多变量分析(逻辑回归)确定 RAAS 阻断是 CIN 的独立预测因素(比值比 3.082,95%置信区间 1.234-7.698,P=0.016)。
在接触 CM 之前接受 RAAS 阻断治疗的患者在 72 小时内更频繁地发生 CIN。即使在调整混杂的合并症后,ACEI 或 AT-1 阻滞剂的治疗仍然是独立的风险预测因素。
