    Abstract:
    Risk factors for contrast nephropathy were prospectively studied in 17 patients with non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus undergoing cardioangiography. Contrast nephropathy, defined as a serum creatinine increase of greater than 25% at 3 day after angiography, occurred in 29.4% of diabetic patients. Patients who developed contrast nephropathy had significantly higher serum creatinine (Cr), fractional excretion of sodium (FENa), urinary albumin excretion rate (AER), and lower 24hr Ccr than patients who did not (Cr: 1.5 +/- 0.3 mg/dl vs. 0.8 +/- 0.1 mg/dl, FENa: 1.9 +/- 0.5% vs. 0.6 +/- 0.1%, AER: 522 +/- 335 micrograms/min vs. 27 +/- 13 micrograms/min, 24hr Ccr: 39.1 +/- 11.6 ml/min vs. 86.2 +/- 9.3 ml/min, P < 0.05). Contrast nephropathy developed in all of two patients with overt proteinuria (AER more than 200 micrograms/min), but none of eight patients with normoalbuminuria (AER below 15 micrograms/min). Three of seven patients with microalbuminuria developed contrast nephropathy, and two of them had advanced nephropathy. FENa obtained next day was significantly elevated over baseline in patients with contrast nephropathy (1.9 +/- 0.5% vs. 9.7 +/- 4.5%, P < 0.05), but unchanged in patients without contrast nephropathy. The rise in C beta 2-microglobulin/Ccr and enzymuria was noted in both group. Percentage decrease of Ccr on the next day was positively correlated with FENa before angiography (r = 0.645, p < 0.01). Of 24hr Ccr, AER, and FENa before angiography, FENa was revealed as a statistically significant discriminant factor for contrast nephropathy by stepwise discriminant analysis (p = 0.0008). These results suggest that contrast nephropathy develops predominantly in the stage not of incipient but of overt diabetic nephropathy indicated by a decline of glomerular filtration, overt proteinuria, and tubular dysfunction. Of them, tubular dysfunction may be the most important risk factor for contrast nephropathy.
