[Diagnostic value of cystatin C in contrast-induced acute kidney injury after percutaneous coronary intervention].
To prospectively evaluate the value of cystatin C ( CysC) in diagnosis of contrast-induced acute kidney injury ( CIAKI) among patients undergoing Percutaneous Cardiovascular Intervention (PCI). ⋯ In this study, CysC presented an excellent diagnostic specificity and negative predictive value in diagnosis of CIAKI. It might be used as a tool for excluding CIAKI in clinical practice. 48 h CysC performed better than 24 h CysC in CIAKI diagnosis, among which a 15% increment achieved relatively the best diagnostic value.
