Why the study?
Patients with STEMI undergoing PPCI have an increased risk of CIN compared to elective PCI, but prevention measures are applied less frequently and current guidelines recommend no preventive strategy.
Does periprocedural intravenous hydration with isotonic saline reduce the risk of contrast-induced nephropathy in patients with STEMI undergoing primary PCI?
Population
924 patients undergoing PPCI across three randomized trials
Comparison
Periprocedural hydration with isotonic saline vs no hydration
Design
Meta-analysis of randomized trials
Key result
Periprocedural intravenous hydration with isotonic saline significantly reduced the incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy (16.9% vs 26.4%; RR 0.64) compared with no hydration in patients with STEMI undergoing primary PCI.

Supports routine periprocedural hydration in STEMI primary PCI; confirms CIN reduction from Level 1 meta-analysis of RCTs.
Meta-Analysis (n=924)
Does periprocedural intravenous hydration with isotonic saline reduce the risk of contrast-induced nephropathy in patients with STEMI undergoing primary PCI?
Relative Risk: 0.64 (95% CI 0.5–0.82)
Absolute Event Rate: 16.9% vs 26.4%
p-value: p=0.0005
Intravenous saline hydration during primary PCI for STEMI significantly reduces the risk of contrast-induced nephropathy without altering mortality or the need for renal replacement therapy.
Wang et al. (2019) conducted a meta-analysis in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) (n=924). Hydration with isotonic saline vs. No hydration was evaluated on Incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) (RR 0.64, 95% CI 0.50-0.82, p=0.0005). Periprocedural intravenous hydration with isotonic saline significantly reduced the incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy (16.9% vs 26.4%; RR 0.64) compared with no hydration in patients with STEMI undergoing primary PCI.
