Overview

Contrast-induced nephropathy is defined as an increase in baseline serum creatinine of >25% or an absolute increase in serum creatinine of 0.5 mg/dL that occurs 48-72 hours following the exposure to CM.[1][2]

Definition

CIN, defined simply, is acute kidney injury (AKI) that occurs within a time frame after the administration of intravenous contrast agents. According to the 2012 KDIGO AKI guidelines, CIN can be considered as a subtype of AKI related to contrast media, and the term contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) was proposed instead of CIN. The Work Group even advocated the use of the RIFLE/AKIN criteria to define CI-AKI.[3] However, several other definitions have been used in clinical trials. Before 2007, four different definitons were used to define CIN especially post-PCI. Increases in serum creatinine of >0.5 mg/dL, >1.0 mg/dL, and >25% of baseline were used.[4] The American College of Cardiology National Cardiovascular Data Registry proposed a fourth definition that required a doubling in serum creatinine to a value >2.0mg/dL or the need for dialysis following PCI.[5] In 2007, Harjai et al showed that only 2 of the four definitions proposed (>0.5 mg/dL increase [P<0.0018] or >25% increase in baseline [P<0.002]) predicted adverse events within the first 6 months following PCI. The authors also proposed a prognostic nephropathy grading system to predict 6 months major adverse cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality. The timing of serum creatinine measurement was 24-48 hours (mean=1.6 days) after the PCI procedure.[6]

The time frame for serum creatinine rise after PCI has also been debated. The PRINCE trial (Prevention of Radiocontrast Induced Nephropathy Clinical Evaluation) showed that the first 24 hours after exposure to CM are the most essential in determining outcome. In 80% of patients with CIN, serum creatinine increase became apparent in the first 24 hours. Virtually all patients with complicated CIN defined as serious renal impairment requiring either acute dialysis or nephrology consultation had a rise in creatinine within that time frame.[7] However, some patients develop renal impairment after the 24-48 hour time frame. The European Society of Urogenital Radiology guidelines used a cut-off of 72 hours after exposure for the rise in serum creatinine.[8] It is also important to mention that the peak in serum creatinine can occur up to 5 days after exposure in a minority of patients.[3]

Following the trend of clinical outcomes after contrast exposure, a more common definition for CIN was recognized that combined 3 criteria:[1][6]

  1. An absolute elevation in serum creatinine of 0.5 mg/dL or and increase of >25% of the baseline creatinine
  2. Rise of serum creatinine within 72 hours of exposure to contrast media
  3. Exclusion of other diagnoses to explain the renal impairment


Recent data have challenged the new definition, showing that the traditional rationale requiring >0.5 mg/dL increase in serum creatinine is better predictive of serious adverse events (dialysis and all-cause mortality) when compared to the >25% increase in serum creatinine baseline.[9]

Definition and staging of AKI

Not Graded
"1. AKI is defined as any of the following:
a. Increase in SCr by ≥0.3 mg/dl (≥26.5 μmol/l) within 48 hours; or
b. Increase in SCr to ≥1.5 times baseline, which is known or presumed to have occurred within the prior 7 days; or
c. Urine volume <0.5 ml/kg/h for 6 hours. (Level of Evidence: Not Graded)"
"2. AKI is staged for severity according to the following criteria (Table 2). (Level of Evidence: Not Graded)"

Table 2: Staging of AKI

Stage Serum creatinine Urine output
1 1.5–1.9 times baseline OR ≥0.3 mg/dl (≥26.5 μmol/l) increase <0.5 ml/kg/h for 6–12 hours
2 2.0–2.9 times baseline <0.5 ml/kg/h for ≥12 hours
3 3.0 times baseline OR Increase in serum creatinine to ≥4.0 mg/dl (≥353.6 μmol/l) OR Initiation of renal replacement therapy OR In patients <18 years, decrease in eGFR to <35 ml/min per 1.73 m2 <0.3 ml/kg/h for ≥24 hours OR Anuria for ≥12 hours

Definition and staging of CI-AKI

Not Graded
"1. Define and stage AKI after administration of intravascular contrast media as per Recommendations 2.1.1–2.1.2. (Level of Evidence: Not Graded)"
"2. In individuals who develop changes in kidney function after administration of intravascular contrast media, evaluate for CI-AKI as well as for other possible causes of AKI. (Level of Evidence: Not Graded)"
