Contrast Induced Nephropathy is an iatrogenic form of acute kidney injury that manifests 48-72 hours after intravascular administration of iodinated contrast medium, with relevant prognostic implications. Several risk scores have been proposed in the past, but all of them included variables which are not known at time of intervention, such as volume of contrast medium or use of Intra Aortic Balloon Pump. Our study aims to identify pre-procedural predictors of CIN in a single centre homogeneous population of STEMI patients undergoing primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention and hence derive a risk score that can be used before the procedure.

Abstract
Contrast Induced Nephropathy is an iatrogenic form of acute kidney injury that manifests 48-72 hours after intravascular administration of iodinated contrast medium, with relevant prognostic implications. Several risk scores have been proposed in the past, but all of them included variables which are not known at time of intervention, such as volume of contrast medium or use of Intra Aortic Balloon Pump. Our study aims to identify pre-procedural predictors of CIN in a single centre homogeneous population of STEMI patients undergoing primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention and hence derive a risk score that can be used before the procedure.È consentito all'utente scaricare e condividere i documenti disponibili a testo pieno in UNITESI UNIPV nel rispetto della licenza Creative Commons del tipo CC BY NC ND.
