Lymphocyte to c-reactive protein ratio predicts the risk of contrast-induced acute kidney injury in STEMI patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is a common complication of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients. Our aim was to assess the lymphocyte to C-reactive protein ratio (LCR) to predict CI-AKI in patients with acute STEMI.

Methods

A total of 777 patients with STEMI undergoing primary PCI were continuously included in this study. The occurrence of CI-AKI was monitored during the follow-up period for all patients. Logistic regression analysis was employed to assess the relationship between LCR and CI-AKI. Furthermore, ROC analysis was conducted to establish the optimal LCR cut-off value for the prediction of CI-AKI.

Results

The incidence of CI-AKI after PCI was 12.2% (95/777). Univariate and m
