ABSTRACT: Background
Previous studies have shown that renal function recovery after acute kidney injury (AKI) was associated with decreased risk of all-cause mortality. However, little is known about the correlation between renal function recovery and long-term prognosis in patients with contrast-associated acute kidney injury (CA-AKI) undergoing coronary angiography (CAG).Methods
We retrospectively enrolled 5,865 patients who underwent CAG. CA-AKI was defined as an increase in serum creatinine (SCr) ≥ 50% or ≥ 0.3 mg/dl from baseline within 72 h post procedure. Recovered CA-AKI was defined as a decrease in SCr to baseline or no CA-AKI level. The first endpoint was long-term all-cause mortality. Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox regression analysis were used to investigate the associatio
