Negative association between free triiodothyronine level and contrast-induced acute kidney injury in patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A low FT3 level is significantly associated with a variety of kidney disease and acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, it remains unclear whether low FT3 is associated with CI-AKI in patients who underwent pPCI.

Methods

Single-center retrospective study evaluated 363 STEMI patients undergoing pPCI. Patients were classfied into 2 groups, low FT3 group (FT3 < 3.1 pmol/L) and normal FT3 group (FT3 ≥ 3.1 pmol/L);CI-AKI was defined as an increase in the serum creatinine levels of ≥50% or 0.3 mg/dL above the baseline level within 48 h after contrast medium exposure.

Results

Overall, 80(22.0%) patients had low FT3, and 59(16.3%) patients developed CI-AKI. The incidence of CI-AKI and in-hospital mortality was significantly higher in patients with low FT3 than
