Abstract

Aim: Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is associated with worse prognosis in patients with non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). Early identification patients with a high risk of CIN are very crucial to improve outcomes. The monocyte to high-density lipoprotein ratio (MHR) is a novel inflammatory marker. We aimed to investigate the MHR had a predictive role for CIN development in patients with NSTEMI. Material and Methods: NSTEMI who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were included in the study. MHR was calculated and CIN was defined as an increase in serum creatinine 25% or 0.5 mg/dl from baseline in the first 48- 72 hours. Results: A total of 370(200, 54.1% men) patients were included in this study and 104 (28.1%) of them had DM. 25 (6.7%) of patients had CIN. MHR was significantly higher in patients with CIN (0.014± 0.004 vs 0.011± 0.006-respectively, p: 0.017). MHR was also significantly correlated with creatinine levels after PCI (r:0,104, p: 0.047). CIN group also experienced a more complicated in-hospital clinical course. Additionally; weight and MHR were detected as independent risk factors of CIN in logistic regression analysis.Conclusion: Preprocedural MHR may be used as cheap, easy and simple marker of CIN. It may help with the early identification of patients with NSTEMI who are at high risk of CIN.
