N2 - Background: Contrast induced nephropathy (CIN) is a complication of coronary angiography/percutaneous intervention (PCI). It is known that diabetes is an independent risk factor for CIN, but we have no data regarding the association between CIN and glycemic levels in patients without diabetes. Aim of our study was to evaluate whether high level of glycated-haemoglobin in patients without diabetes is associated with an increased risk of CIN. Methods: A total of 1324 patients without diabetes, undergoing elective/urgent coronary angiography/angioplasty were divided according to quartiles of baseline glycated-haemoglobin. CIN was defined as an absolute ≥0.5. mg/dL or a relative ≥25% increase in creatinine level at 24-48. h after the procedure. Results: Patients with elevated glycated-haemoglobin were older, with hypertension, metabolic syndromes, previous history of AMI, PCI and CABG. They had higher gycaemia, fasting-glycaemia and triglycerides but lower HDL-cholesterol. Patients with higher glycated-haemoglobin were more often on therapy with statins, diuretics and calcium-antagonist at admission, had higher basal, 24 and 48. h creatinine, lower creatinine clearance and lower ejection fraction. They had the highest incidence of PCI and contrast volume-eGFR rate. CIN occurred in 10.6% of patients with a linear association with glycated-haemoglobin (p = 0.001). No relationship was found between glycaemia/fasting glycaemia at admission and CIN. The multivariate analysis confirmed the association between elevated glycated haemoglobin (above the median value 5.7%) and the risk of CIN after adjustment for baseline confounding factors (Adjusted OR [95% CI] = 1.69 [1.14-2.51], p = 0.009). In fact, the results were consistent in major high-risk subgroups. Conclusion: This is the first study showing that among patients without diabetes undergoing coronary angiography/PCI elevated glycated-haemoglobin but not glucose levels is independently associated with the risk of CIN.
