Kidney protection strategy lowers the risk of contrast-associated acute kidney injury.

ABSTRACT: We developed a comprehensive kidney protection strategy (KPS), which comprises left ventricular end-diastolic pressure-guided saline hydration, ultralow contrast coronary angiography, and a staged coronary revascularization procedure under suitable conditions. This study aimed to investigate KPS's effect on the risk of developing contrast-associated acute kidney injury (CA-AKI) among persons with moderate-to-advanced kidney insufficiency (KI). Seventy patients who had undergone cardiac catheterization with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of 15-45 mL/min/1.73 m2 were investigated retrospectively. Among these, 19 patients who had received KPS and 51 who had undergone cardiac catheterization with usual care (UC) were enrolled. CA-AKI was defined as a 0.3-mg/dL increase in serum
