Onset time and prognostic value of acute kidney injury in patients with acute myocardial infarction.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The mechanisms and clinical impact of acute kidney injury (AKI) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) may differ depending on whether AKI develops during the early or late phase after AMI. The present study assessed the timing of AKI onset and the prognostic impact on long-term outcomes in patients hospitalized with AMI.

Methods

The present study enrolled consecutive AMI survivors who had undergone successful percutaneous coronary interventions at admission. AKI was defined as an increase in the serum creatinine level of ≥0.3 mg/dL above the admission value within 7 days of hospitalization. AKI patients were further divided into two subgroups (early-phase AKI: within 3 days vs. late-phase AKI: 4 to 7 days after AMI onset). The primary endpoint was all-cause deat
