About this study
Official title: Predictors of Contrast-Induced Acute Kidney Injury in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome
This observational study aims to identify predictors of contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) in patients with acute coronary syndrome undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. Clinical, laboratory, and procedural factors will be analyzed to determine their association with the development of CI-AKI. The findings may help improve risk stratification and preventive strategies in this high-risk population.
Read the detailed description
This prospective observational study investigates predictors of contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) among patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The study was conducted from November 2024 to June 2025 at a tertiary cardiac center.
Patients with ACS who underwent coronary angiography or PCI were enrolled consecutively. Clinical characteristics, laboratory parameters, hydration status, use of nephrotoxic drugs, and type and volume of contrast media were recorded. Serum creatinine levels were measured before and 48-72 hours after contrast exposure, and CI-AKI was defined according to KDIGO criteria.
The primary objective is to identify independent predictors of CI-AKI using multivariate analysis. Secondary objectives include evaluation of short-term outcomes, such as in-hospital complications and renal function recovery at 90 days. The results are expected to improve understanding of CI-AKI risk in real-world ACS patients and to support preventive strategies in interventional cardiology.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

Measured: 90 days after contrast exposure
Incidence of Contrast-Induced Acute Kidney Injury (CI-AKI)
Occurrence of contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) defined as an increase in serum creatinine of ≥0.3 mg/dL (≥26.5 µmol/L) or ≥50% from baseline within 48-72 hours after exposure to iodinated contrast media, according to KDIGO criteria.
Measured: Within 72 hours after contrast exposure
Secondary outcomes (1)
Changes in plasma TIMP-2 concentration
Assessment of urinary TIMP-2 levels 2 hours after contrast exposure to detect early markers of renal tubular injury

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Acute Coronary Syndrome and Contrast-Induced Acute Kidney Injury, run by Karaganda Medical University at 1 site in Kazakhstan.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Dec 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Kazakhstan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Change in serum creatinine at 90 days (time frame: 90 days after contrast exposure). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT07294911, which also lists 11 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Dec 2025.
