Abstract :Introduction: The present study aims to investigate the association between contrast-induced nephropathy insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CIN); and inferior vena cava collapsibility index insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(IVC-CI); measured via echocardiography to estimate intravascular volume. Patients and Methods: A total of 100 patients were referred to coronary angiography insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CAG);. On the day of admission, blood samples were collected, and an echocardiographic evaluation was performed to estimate IVC-CI immediately before CAG. IVC-CI ratios were stratified into three groups insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(low, mid, high); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values( 75%);. Creatinine was assessed again at 48 hours following the CAG procedure. The difference between baseline serum creatinine and serum creatinine at 48 hours was calculated as ΔCrea while the difference in GFR was calculated as ΔGFR. Biochemical parameters and CIN ratios were compared between all groups. Results: There were no differences across the groups in terms of procedural characteristics, preprocedural lab parameters, and concomitant medication. ΔCreatinine, ΔGFR, and the incidence of CIN were significantly higher in the high IVC-CI group. Conclusion: Post-procedure incidence of CIN, ΔGFR, and Δcreatinine compared to the pre-procedure values were higher in the high IVC-CI group.
