Abstract Acute kidney injury could be a serious outcome complicating primary percutaneus intervention for STEMI patients affecting both morbidity and mortality. Incidence of acute kidney injury is greatly affected by many risk factors. Pre-procedural risk factors and clinical status are the most important and common predictors of developing renal impairment post contrast medium exposure. In this study our patients are evaluated pre-procedurally and risk factor are well assessed then serum creatnine and creatnine clearance are observed post-procedure for identifying patients with AKI as defined before. The study population (38 patients) is then subdivided according to severity of renal impairment according to creatnine clearance into two groups: group I : those who developed severe renal impairment with Cr. Clearance less than 30 ml/min ( 17 patients ). group II : those who developed mild to moderate renal impairment with Cr. Clearance more than 30 ml/min ( 21 patients ). The aim of this study is to correlate findings in clinical evaluations and patient’s characteristics and baseline risk factor to risk of developing AKI and it’s severity. |
