There are limited data on how baseline kidney function and fluid balance are related to acute kidney injury (AKI) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Patients who underwent PCI from 2009-2017 were identified from our institute's National Cardiovascular Disease Registry CathPCI Database. Patients were stratified by CKD Stages 1 (eGFR≥90%), 2 (60-89%), 3a (45-59%), 3b (30-44%), 4 (16-29%), and 5 (≤15%). Net fluid balance (input – output) after PCI was recorded. The outcome was AKI, defined by Acute Kidney Injury Network as an absolute increase in serum creatinine (Cr) levels of at least 0.3 mg/dL or a relative increase of Cr by 50% within 72 hours after PCI. AKI requiring dialysis was defined separately ("AKI-D"). Among 13,537 PCIs, there were 943 AKI events (6.97%). The rates of AKI and AKI-D increased in a stepwise manner across CKD Stages 1-5 (P<0.0001). After multivariable adjustment, CKD Stages 3b-5 remained independent predictors of AKI (P<0.05) (Figure). Those with CKD stages 3b-5 had a more net negative fluid balance within 24 hours before and after PCI, compared to CKD stages 1-3a (P<0.05). Individuals who developed AKI had a more net negative fluid balance within 24 hours post PCI (median -413.45 mL, IQR -2411.25-633.65), compared to those who did not develop AKI (median -350, IQR -1165-309) (P<0.05). Worse baseline CKD independently predicts increased risk of AKI after PCI. A more negative fluid balance within 24 hours after PCI predisposes to AKI. This suggests that fluid administration post-PCI may reduce AKI, especially in individuals with baseline CKD.
