Acute Kidney Injury Among Older Patients Undergoing Coronary Angiography for Acute Myocardial Infarction: The SILVER-AMI Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Among older adults (age ≥75 years) hospitalized for acute myocardial infarction, acute kidney injury after coronary angiography is common. Aging-related conditions may independently predict acute kidney injury, but have not yet been analyzed in large acute myocardial infarction cohorts.

Methods

We analyzed data from 2212 participants age ≥75 years in the Comprehensive Evaluation of Risk Factors in Older Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction (SILVER-AMI) study who underwent coronary angiography. Acute kidney injury was defined using Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria (serum Cr increase ≥0.3 mg/dL from baseline or ≥1.5 times baseline). We analyzed the associations of traditional acute kidney injury risk factors and aging-related conditions
