Introducción y objetivos

Nuestro objetivo fue analizar la incidencia, los factores predictores y el pronóstico de la insuficiencia renal aguda (IRA) tras un cateterismo cardiaco urgente.

Métodos

Estudiamos a 602 pacientes consecutivos sometidos a cateterismo urgente. Se definió IRA como un incremento absoluto del valor de creatinina sérica ≥ 0,5 mg/dl en las 72 h siguientes al procedimiento. En una primera cohorte de 315 pacientes evaluamos los factores predictores y el pronóstico de IRA y elaboramos una clasificación de riesgo, que validamos en una segunda cohorte de 287 pacientes. La mediana (rango intercuartílico) de seguimiento fue de 1,3 (0,8-2) años.

Resultados

De los 602 pacientes, 72 (12%) desarrollaron IRA. En la cohorte de 315 pacientes, los predictores independientes de IRA fueron: shock cardiogénico al ingreso (odds ratio [OR] = 4,56), diabetes mellitus (OR = 2,98), tiempo a la reperfusión > 6 h (OR = 3,18), localización anterior del infarto (OR = 2,61) y valores basales de creatinina ≥ 1,5 mg/dl (OR = 3,51) y de urea sérica ≥ 50 mg/dl (OR = 3). Se construyó una clasificación de riesgo usando esas variables (shock cardiogénico = 3 puntos; demás variables = 2 puntos); los pacientes de la cohorte de validación fueron clasificados en 5 categorías de riesgo: 0 puntos, el 1,2% de incidencia de IRA; 2-3 puntos, el 8,7%; 4-5 puntos, el 12,5%; 6-7 puntos, el 46,2%; ≥ 8 puntos, el 66,7% (p < 0,0001). En el análisis de regresión de Cox, la IRA resultó ser un poderoso predictor de mortalidad (hazard ratio [HR] = 5,97; intervalo de confianza [IC] del 95%, 2,54-14,03; p < 0,0001) y de eventos cardiovasculares mayores (HR = 3,29; IC del 95%, 1,61-6,75; p = 0,001).

Conclusiones

La incidencia de IRA tras un cateterismo urgente es elevada. El shock cardiogénico, la diabetes mellitus, la localización del infarto, el tiempo a la reperfusión y la creatinina y la urea séricas son predictores de IRA. Los pacientes que desarrollaron esta complicación presentaron mayor tasa de mortalidad y de eventos cardiovasculares mayores.

Introduction and objectives

The aim was to investigate the incidence and prognosis of, and predictive factors for, acute renal failure following emergent cardiac catheterization.

Methods

The study involved 602 consecutive patients who underwent emergent cardiac catheterization. Acute renal failure (ARF) was defined as an increase in serum creatinine level ≥0.5 mg/dL within 72 hours following the procedure. Predictive factors for and the prognosis of ARF were evaluated in an initial cohort of 315 patients, and a risk score was derived. The risk score was validated in a second cohort of 287 patients. The median (interquartile) follow-up time was 1.3 years (0.8-2.0 years).

Results

Seventy-two of the 602 patients (12.0%) developed ARF. In the initial cohort of 315 patients, the following factors were predictors of ARF: cardiogenic shock at admission (odds ratio [OR] 4.56), diabetes mellitus (OR 2.98), time to reperfusion >6 hours (OR 3.18), anterior myocardial infarction (OR 2.61), baseline serum creatinine level ≥1.5 mg/dL (OR 3.51), and baseline serum urea level ≥50 mg/dL (OR 3.00). A risk score based on these variables was constructed in which cardiogenic shock = 3 points and each of the remaining variables = 2 points. Patients in the validation cohort were divided into five risk categories: in those with 0 points, the incidence of ARF was 1.2%; with 2-3 points, 8.7%; with 4–5 points, 12.5%; with 6-7 points, 46.2%; and with ≥8 points, 66.7% (P<.0001). Cox regression analysis showed that ARF was a powerful predictor of total mortality (hazard ratio [HR] 5.97, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.54–14.03; P<.0001) and of a major cardiovascular event (HR 3.29, 95% CI 1.61–6.75; P=.001).

Conclusions

The incidence of ARF after emergent cardiac catheterization is high. Cardiogenic shock, diabetes mellitus, myocardial infarction location, time to reperfusion, and serum creatinine and urea levels are predictors of ARF. Patients who developed this complication had higher mortality and major cardiovascular events rates.

    Besides, in Alberto Bouzas-Mosquera's 5 factor CIN score including cardiogenic shock, diabetes mellitus, urea levels have shown predictive value for ARF after urgent cardiac catheterization. Unfortunately, they failed to evaluate the risk score model's predictive value for long-term prognosis with median follow-up time of only 1.3 years [28]. Our model using 4 simple factors demonstrated similar accuracy compared to Mehran's and ACEF score, in predicting CIN development and long-term prognosis.

    In the presence of comorbidities, renal toxicity is significantly more likely [34], as even volumes < 100 ml can be dangerous. The incidence of CIN is 0.15% [43], 1.6% in selective clinical conditions [44], it reaches 12% in hospitalized patients [45], surging to 50% in high-risk situations, like in ICU patients [46–48]. The risk, proportional to the severity of pre-existing renal failure, is factored by age > 70, hemodynamic instability, nephrotic syndrome and transplanted kidney [43–50].

    There was a high incidence of CIN in our study even in patients with normal renal function and at low risk. In accordance with Bouzas-Mosquera et al. 13 who reported 12% incidence of CIN however, his incidence was in a high risk group undergoing primary PCI. Although the risk of CIN after PCI in the general population is low (0.6–3%, depending on the definition used),14 the incidence can be considerably higher in risk subgroups.15–17
