Obesity and Acute Kidney Injury in Patients with ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Data on the association between obesity and acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) are sparse and inconclusive. We aimed to evaluate the association between obesity and AKI and the outcome in these patients.

Methods

A retrospective observational study of 3979 STEMI patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was performed at a single center. Patients with and without AKI were compared. Patients were also divided into three categories according to BMI, and these were compared. All-cause mortality was determined at 30 days and over a median period of 7.0 years.

Results

The incidence of AKI was similar in all BMI categories. There was no association between BMI categories and AKI (p = 0.089
