Independent predictors of acute kidney injury in patients with acute coronary syndrome after percutaneous coronary intervention.

Introduction: High residual platelet reactivity (RPR) in patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) receiving antiplatelet agents has been associated with a high risk of developing acute kidney injury (AKI).

Study Aim: This study aimed at identification of independent prognostic predictors of AKI risk in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) after PCI.

Study Design, Setting And Patients: This was a prospective single-center clinical trial that included 155 patients (n = 119 without AKI, n = 36 with AKI, mean age 64.
