Popis: Hyperhomocysteinemia induces oxidative stress and endothelial dysfunction, which share the proposed pathophysiologic mechanisms of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN). However, no study has investigated the relation between hyperhomocysteinemia and CIN. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of hyperhomocysteinemia on CIN in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. This was an observational cohort study that included 572 patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention. CIN was defined as an absolute ≥0.5 mg/dl or a relative ≥25% increase in the serum creatinine level at 48 hours after the procedure. The incidence of CIN was significantly greater in patients in the third homocysteine tertile (from lowest to highest, 4.7%, 7.3%, and 24.2%, p
