Renal Atheroemboli
Other signs of embolization (blue toes, livedo reticularis, Hollenhorst plaques, abdominal pain) Transient eosinophilia and hypocomplementemia Renal failure which persists greater than 7 days
Renal Hypoperfusion
Oliguria/anuria Postischemic acute tubular necrosis (increasing Cr, normal to reduced uop, granular casts, FeNa > 1
CIN Timeline
Symptoms initially seen 24-48 hours after exposure Cr peaks at 5-7 days Normalizes usually within 7-10 days
Mehran, 2007
CIN Incidence
3rd most common hospital acquired renal failure >5% of patients with cath experience transient increase Cr > 1.0 from baseline
Outcomes of CIN
Prognosis of patients with CIN significantly worse than those without Case control study 1600 pts with contrast, mortality rate with CIN (n=183) 5.5 times of matched controls (n=174) Increased risk of mortality if require hemodialysis Increase in cost of $10,345 for hospital stay
Pathogenesis of CIN
In animal models, some evidence of ATN but mechanism is not fully understood. Theories: Renal vasoconstriction Cytotoxic effect of contrast agent
Renal Vasoconstriction
Contrast induced release of endothelin (? importance) and adenosine High osmolality of contrast can cause a reduction of medullary blood flow secondary to increased viscosity of the blood flowing through the vasa recta (usually low viscosity)
Vasa Recta
McCullough et al.
Prevention
Contrast: low or iso-osmolar (similar results) Omnipaque (iohexol) 844mOsm/kg Hold nephrotoxic drugs (NSAIDs, calcineurin inhibitors, diuretics, aminoglycosides, metformin) Hydration: NS better than NS, ?sodium bicarbonate, ascorbic acid, and N-acetylcysteine Continue statin Hemofiltration (Cr 3-4) 6hr before and 12-18hr post ? IV antioxidants, renal vasodilators, forced hydration
McCullough et al.
At UNC
Hydration: NS at 1mL/kg/hr for 12 hours prior to cath Acetylcystein 600-1200mg po BID x 4 doses (2 doses the day prior and 2 the day of) Na Bicarb: 150mEq in 1L D5W at 3mL/kg/hour(max 110kg) x 1 hour on call to procedure, then 1mL/kg/hour (max 110kg) x 6 hours
