Irreversible deterioration of estimated glomerular filtration rate in patients with acute myocardial infarction after primary percutaneous coronary intervention
Abstract:Contrast-induced nephropathy is a possible complication after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for acute myocardial infarction (MI). Deterioration of renal function is reported to be generally reversible. However, renal insufficiency worsens the prognosis for some patients with primary PCI. We evaluated sequential changes in renal function before primary PCI and until the chronic phase. We retrospectively studied 302 patients who had undergone PCI for acute MI. Renal function was evaluated base… Show more
