Abstract

Aim. To assess the influence of hyperuricemia on the risk of contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) and arterial hypertension. Materials and methods. Patients receiving optimal medical therapy and with indications for coronary angiography and possible coronary angioplasty, with stable CAD and arterial hypertension were included in the study. We conducted an observational open prospective cohort study, that was registered in clinicaltrials.gov with ID NCT04014153. Results. We included 1023 patients with chronic CAD. 863 had arterial hypertension. Hyperuricemia was diagnosed in 31 patients, 832 had normal levels of uric acid on admission. Contrast-induced acute kidney injury developed in 2 (6.5%) patients suffering from hyperuricemia. In patients with stable CAD, AH and no hyperuricemia the rate of CI-AKI was 107 (12.9%) patients. The difference between groups was not statistically significant (95% CI -0.056–0.183, р=0.292). We built a multiple linear regression model that included age, weight, female gender, heart failure, diabetes mellitus, kidney diseases in past medical history, protei-nuria, anemia, baseline glomerular filtration rate, contrast volume and difference between baseline creatinine and creatinine after contrast administration. No risk factor showed any statistical significance in the model. Conclusion. Contrast-induced acute kidney injury developed in 2 (6.5%) patients suffering from hyperuricemia. The rate of CI-AKI in patients without hyperuricemia was twice higher but the results were not statistically significant. Among the risk factors included in the multiple linear regression model none was statistically significant.
