Objectives: The aim of our study was to evaluate whether serum asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) level is an independent predictor of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN). Study design: The study involved 90 consecutive patients with stable angina pectoris who underwent coronary angiography and ventriculography. Baseline serum creatinine (SCr) levels ranged between ≥1.2 and 124.7 ng/ml had 80% sensitivity and 76% specificity in predicting the development of CIN. In addition, we found a positive correlation between SCr change and serum ADMA level (p=0.001, r=0.35). Conclusion: Our study demonstrates that increased serum ADMA level is an independent predictor of CIN. |
