Association Between Inflammatory Biomarkers and Contrast-induced Acute Kidney Injury in ACS Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: A Cross-sectional Study.

Abstract

The present study aimed to evaluate the predictive role of inflammatory biomarkers in the development of contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The inflammatory biomarkers assessed were: platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), derived neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (dNLR), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte*platelet ratio (NLPR), systemic inflammatory index (SII), and systemic inflammation response index (SIRI). Overall, 950 patients undergoing PCI were enrolled. The frequency of CI-AKI was 15.2% (n = 144). The levels of NLR, MLR, NLPR, SII, and SIRI were higher in the CI-AKI group than in the Non-CI-AKI group (P < .05). The addition of NLR ≥2.96, dNLR ≥2.08, NLPR ≥.012, SII ≥558.04, and SIRI ≥1.13 to the Mehran score model significantly increased the area under the curve (P < .05). Multivariable logistic regression analyses indicated that inflammatory biomarkers were significantly associated with CI-AKI, including NLR ≥2.96 (OR = 1.588, P = .017), dNLR ≥2.08 (OR = 1.686, P = .007), SII ≥558.04 (OR = 1.521, P = .030), and SIRI ≥1.13 (OR = 1.601, P = .017). Therefore, inflammation is associated with the development of CI-AKI, and preoperative hematological inflammatory markers could predict the risk of CI-AKI in ACS patients undergoing PCI.
