Incidence of contrast induced acute kidney injury in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention in North Indian population

In the era of PCI for CAD patients, CIN is a frequent complication, even in patients with normal renal function, and is associated with a more complicated in-hospital course. In overburdened Indian hospitals, CIN is frequently underreported because of day care procedures and early discharge. We found a new factor for development of CIN.CIN was associated with ≥3 number of stents deployment, contrast volume more than 250 ml, EF ≤30% and in diabetic patients. There was no effect of isoosmolar contrast from low osmolar contrast.
