ACE-I/ARB Therapy prior to Contrast Exposure: What Should the Clinician Do?

Abstract: Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is now one of the three leading causes of acute kidney injury in the world. A lot is known about the risk factors of CIN, yet it remains a major cause of morbidity, end stage renal disease, prolonged hospital stay, and increased costs as well as a high mortality. Many patients undergoing contrast-based radiological investigations are treated with angiotensin converting inhibitors (ACE-Is) or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) for their cardiac and renal benefits and their k… Show more

“…Among reported cases, it is interesting to observe that a great percentage of cases reported risk factors. As for b-blockers, the increased risk with concomitant use of ACE-I and CM is still debated and it is not clear whether the treatment with ACE-I should be continued or discontinued 3 days prior to use of CM in order to reduce CM-induced renal toxicity risk [45]. In our case, for this patient, no renal toxicity was reported.…”

“…In diabetic patients, metformin introduction must be canceled 48 h before and limited 48 h after CM injection. ACE inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers, due to possible harm and inadequate data on their positive effects on renal hemodynamics and GFR, should be excluded from therapy 1 day before the study, although, under the KDIGO consensus, this allegation has not been fully proved [13,72].…”

“…ACE is a zinc-dependent metallopeptidase with broad substrate specificity, but it was first described for its catalytic properties in two vasoactive peptides: angiotensin I and bradykinin (Kalyesubula et al, 2014).…”
