Urinary proteomics investigations into contrast-induced acute kidney injury.

ABSTRACT: Some patients have a decline in renal function after contrast medium injection, and this phenomenon is called contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI); a small number of people even suffer severe renal failure. To date, the mechanism of CI-AKI remains unclear. We aimed to identify novel potential biomarkers in the urine of patients with CI-AKI through LC-MS/MS and bioinformatics analysis. We enrolled patients who underwent coronary angiography (contrast agent: iohexol). The CI-AKI group included 4 cases, and the non-CI-AKI group included 20 cases. We mixed the 4 CI-AKI samples and 20 non-CI-AKI samples. Then, a 0.6 ml urine sample was used for proteome analysis with LC-MS/MS approach. Metascape, ExPASy, and the Human Protein Atlas were utilized for bioinformatics analysis. We obtained
