Haematological Indices Predictive Role In Post Contrast Induced Acute Kidney Injury

Abstract

Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is a frequent complication in cardiac patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Thus, the early prediction of such cases is essential to improve outcomes and prevent complications. Hemogram-derived indices provide a cheap, easy, and non-invasive test. Systemic immune inflammation index (SII) is a novel marker that can be calculated easily from a complete blood count test. It can be an important indicator in determining the balance between systemic inflammation and immune status and can predict CI-AKI better than neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR).
