This study aims to evaluate the association between prognostic nutritional index (PNI) and contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN).Material and methods: A total of 251 patients who were at high risk for contrast nephropathy were included in the study. The patients were grouped according to their PNI score (PNI score <45 or PNI score ≥45). CIN was defined as a 25% relative increase, or 0.5 mg/dL absolute increase in serum creatinine level above baseline within 72 hours of contrast exposure, in the absence of an alternative explanation.Results: Two groups were assigned according to the PNI score. The first group consists of 111 patients (PNI<45) and the second group has 140 patients (PNI≥45). CIN developed in 162 (%64.8) patients. C-reactive protein was higher in the low-PNI group. Also, the patients with the low-PNI group had lower ejection fraction, lower serum albumin levels, and lower hemoglobin levels. CIN, postprocedure renal replacement therapy requirement and in-hospital mortality were higher in the low PNI group. Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that advanced age (p=0.012, [OR] = 1.044 [1.009-1.079]), low baseline GFR (p=0.033, [OR]= 1.022 [1.002-1.043]), high amount of contrast media (p=0.022, [OR]= 1.017 [1.002-1.031]), and low PNI score (p=0.033 , [OR]= 2.069 [1.060-4.039]) were independent predictors of CIN.Conclusion: Our study demonstrated that the PNI score was an independent risk factor for the development of CIN.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
