Med Forum Jan ;31(3):46-9.

Objective: To examine the prevalence and associated risk factors of contrast induced nephropathy in patients undergoing multi-vessel percutaneous coronary intervention. Study Design: Prospective/Observational Place and Duration of Study: This study was conducted at the Department of Cardiology, Bolan Medical Complex Hospital Quetta from July 2019 to December 2019. Materials and Methods: One hundred and fifty patients of both genders with ages 20 to 80 years undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention were enrolled in this study. Patient`s detailed demographics were recorded after written consent. Contrast induced nephropathy was defined as serum creatinine >0.5mg/dl from baseline value. Risk factors associated with contrast induced nephropathy were examined. Results: There were 105 (70%) males and 45 (30%) were females with mean age 57.64+-7.28 years. Contrast induced nephropathy was found in 26 (17.33%) patients. Anemia, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, contrast volume >150ml, congestive heart failure and age >70 years were significantly associated risk factors of contrast induced nephropathy with p-value <0.05. Conclusion: The incidence of contrast induced nephropathy in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention is high. Significant risk factors for contrast induced nephropathy were anemia, age >70 years, diabetes mellitus, contrast volume >150ml and heart failure.
