Erythrocyte parameters, anemia conditions, and sex differences are associated with the incidence of contrast-associated acute kidney injury after coronary angiography.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Contrast-associated acute kidney injury (CA-AKI) is a critical complication when applying contrast medium, and the risk factors of CA-AKI have not been fully clarified. This study aimed to explore the relationships of CA-AKI with erythrocyte parameters, anemia conditions, and sex differences in patients after coronary angiography (CAG).

Methods

In this retrospective study, 4,269 patients who underwent CAG were enrolled. CA-AKI was defined as an increase in plasma creatinine of at least 0.5 mg/dl (44 μmol/L) or 25% within 72 h after exposure to the contrast medium. Three erythrocyte parameters, including hemoglobin, hematocrit, and red blood cell (RBC) count, were collected on admission. Logistic regression analyses were used to examine the associations of sex diffe
