Determining the Role of Serum Cystatin C in the Early Detection of Contrast-Induced Nephropathy after Coronary Intervention | Chapter 6 | New Horizons in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 12

Contrast-induced nephropathy is the most frequent side effect of both coronary angiography (CAG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) (CIN). The current study's objective is to determine if serum cystatin C can be utilised to diagnose CIN 24 hours following elective CAG and/or PCI in individuals.

The research included 80 participants with elective cardiology (48 males, 32 females). The study was conducted in Holy Karbala, Iraq, in the heart catheterization lab of the Al-Hussein Medical City/ Karbala Health Directorate. Blood urea, estimated GFR, serum cystatin C, and serum creatinine are among the laboratory and clinical tests that are performed.

19 patients (23.8 percent) with renal impairment ranging from grade 0 to 2 had contrast-induced nephropathy. Serum creatinine, cystatin C, and eGFR all rose considerably (p0.001, 0.01 correspondingly) after angiography/angioplasty operations for 24 hours. Creatinine had a greater area under the curve (p=0.001), 78.9% sensitivity, and 60.7 percent specificity than serum cystatin C (95 percent CI=0.673-0.881), according to a receiver-operating characteristic analysis. P=0.001, sensitivity=78.9%, specificity=64%, and a cystatin C threshold level of >7 ng/ml. A reliable biomarker for early detection of contrast-induced nephropathy was cystatin C.
