Abstract
Acute kidney injury could be a serious outcome complicating primary
percutaneus intervention for STEMI patients affecting both morbidity and
mortality.
Incidence of acute kidney injury is greatly affected by many risk
factors. Pre-procedural risk factors and clinical status are the most important
and common predictors of developing renal impairment post contrast
medium exposure.
In this study our patients are evaluated pre-procedurally and risk factor
are well assessed then serum creatnine and creatnine clearance are observed
post-procedure for identifying patients with AKI as defined before.
The study population (38 patients) is then subdivided according to
severity of renal impairment according to creatnine clearance into two
groups:
group I : those who developed severe renal impairment with Cr. Clearance
less than 30 ml/min ( 17 patients ).
group II : those who developed mild to moderate renal impairment with Cr.
Clearance more than 30 ml/min ( 21 patients ).
The aim of this study is to correlate findings in clinical evaluations and
patient’s characteristics and baseline risk factor to risk of developing AKI
and it’s severity.
