Randomized Controlled TrialAnalysis of biomarkers for risk of acute kidney injury after primary angioplasty for acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction: results of the HORIZONS-AMI trial.
Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) may occur after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). ⋯ The risk of CI-AKI after primary PCI for STEMI may be associated with hemostatic imbalances, activation of procoagulants, decreased endogenous anticoagulants, enhanced inflammation, platelet activation, or decreased fibrinolytic activity.
