Abstract

Abstract : Objective: We sought to assess the impact of the pretreatment with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) for coronary intervention on the risk of contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) after 72-hour postcontrast administration, together with a comprehensive meta-analysis in this aspect. Methods and Results: In this prospective study, 401 patients referred for percutaneous coronary intervention were enrolled with 134 patients in non–renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system group, 204 patients in ACEIs group and 63 patients in ARBs group. For further meta-analysis, articles were identified through PubMed, EMBASE, Wanfang, and VIP. Data extraction and study quality were assessed in duplicate. Altogether, 14 qualified trials (including this prospective study) with 1960 patients taking ACEIs or ARBs and 1457 patients receiving no renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system blockers were analyzed. There was an overall 1.28-fold increased risk for CI-AKI in patients taking ACEIs or ARBs (odds ratio [OR] = 1.28; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.79–2.09; P = 0.315). Overall changes in serum creatinine, estimated GFR, and blood urea nitrogen were also nonsignificant. Subgroup analyses identified a significantly increased risk for CI-AKI in patients taking ARBs (OR = 3.31; 95% CI, 1.89–5.78; P < 0.0005), and no significance was observed for patients taking ACEIs (OR = 0.86; 95% CI, 043–1.72; P = 0.664). Also, patients taking ARBs had serum creatinine markedly increased by 0.05 mg/dL (95% CI, 0.02–0.09; P = 0.005). Conclusions: The findings of this meta-analysis provide clear evidence for a deleterious impact of ARBs on the development of CI-AKI. Abstract : Supplemental Digital Content is Available in the Text.
