ABSTRACT: Background
Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) have been proven to prevent decline in kidney function and failure. Whether SGLT2i affect the risk of contrast-associated acute kidney injury (CA-AKI) remains uncertain.Methods
Use of SGLT2i was assessed in consecutive diabetics undergoing coronary angiography (CA) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) from January 2020 to May 2023 at a tertiary hospital in Chongqing, China. Propensity-matched analysis was used to adjust for baseline variables. CA-AKI was defined by the Acute Kidney Injury Network (AKIN) as creatinine increase ≥ 0.3 mg/dl (26.4 μmol/l), or a percentage increase in the serum creatinine level of ≥ 50%.Results
A total of 604 new users of SGLT2i, and 298 chronic users of SGLT2i were mat
