  1. Contrast Induced Nephropathy and Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis By Dr. HP Shum Apr 2008

  2. Overview • Contrast induced nephropathy (CIN) • Definition • Pathogenesis • Prevalence • Risk factors • Adverse outcome • Prevention • Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis

  3. Definition of CIN • Including three components • Absolute or relative increase in serum Cr compared to baseline • Temporal relationship between the rise of Cr and exposure to contrast agents • Exclusion of alternative explanations for renal impairment >25% or 44umol/l increase of Cr level from baseline Within 48-72 hrs of exposure Cholesterol embolism, hypotension, UTI etc

  4. Pathogenesis Use of adenosine antagonist Use of IVF / IOCM Use of IOCM Use of NAC Use of IVF / IOCM

  5. 4622 admitted to medical and surgical ward • 7.2% with baseline Cr >105umol/l AJKD, Vol 39, No 5 (May), 2002: pp 930-936

  6. The overall incidence of CIN among general population is around 0.6-2.3% Radiology 1997; 203:605-610

  7. Pre-existing renal disease % of CIN JSurgRes 1992; 53:317-320

  8. However… • Serum Cr varies with age, muscle mass and gender -> not reliable enough to identify patients at risk • Use Cockcroft or MDRD equation to calculate CrCl • eGFR <=60ml/min/1.73m2 is a reliable cut-off

  9. DM + CRF Nephrol Dial Transplant 2007, 22, 819-826 NB: 400 pts, baseline GFR around 50ml/min

  10. Volume of CM AmJCardiol 2004; 94:300-305 DM patients receiving PCI

  11. Anemia Kidney Int 2005; 67:706-713

  12. Type of CM: Osmolality and Viscosity

  13. Type of CM Nephrotoxicity of iso-osmolar iodixanol compared with nonionic low-osmolar contrast media: meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. (25 RCTs) Radiology. 2009 Jan;250(1):68-86 A meta-analysis of the renal safety of isosmolar iodixanol compared with low-osmolar contrast media. (26 RCTs) J Am Coll Cardiol. 2006 Aug 15;48(4):692-9 Iso-osmolar CM have lower CIN risk c/w low osmolar CM among patients with renal impairment or DM

  14. J Am Coll Cardiol 2004, 44, 1393-99

  15. CIN and mortality Mayo Clin Proc. 2008;83(10):1095-1100

  16. CINConsensusWorkingPanelAmJCardiol 2006;98:2K-4K

  17. IV Hydration • Decrease activity of the RAAS • Reduce vasocontrictive hormones like endothelin • Increase sodium diuresis • Decrease tubulo-glomerular feedback • Prevent tubular obstruction • Protect against reactive oxygen species • Dilute contrast medium in tubules

  18. 0.45% NaCl vs 0.9% NaCl N Tx regimen baseline Cr results P NS may be better than 0.45% NaCl

  19. NaHCO3 vs NaCl • 12 RCTs, 1854 patients • Isotonic NaHCO3 decrease incidence of CIN (OR 0.39) c/w NaCl • No significant difference in needs for RRT and in-hospital mortality Am J Kidney Dis 2009 Apr; 53 (4), 617-627

  20. Oral vs IVF Inconclusive, IVF may be better than oral route

  21. NAC • Potent anti-oxidant • Scavenger of wide variety of oxygen derived free radicals • Prevent direct oxidative tissue damage

  22. NAC beneficial for CIN prevention, especially those with renal impairment Ann Intern Med 2008; 148, 284-294

  23. Adenosine antagonist (amiophylline and theophylline) • CM bind to renal adenosine receptor • Causing potent vasoconstriction • Impair renal blood flow • Adenosine antagonist may reverse renal vasoconstriction

  24. Adenosine antagonist Benefit inconclusive, may be useful Ann Intern Med 2008; 148, 284-294

  25. Dopamine and fenoldopam • Induce renal vasodilatation • Increase renal blood flow • Increase urine output

  26. Dopamine and fenoldopam Not useful for CIN prevention Ann Intern Med 2008; 148, 284-294

  27. Lasix Increase risk of CIN Ann Intern Med 2008; 148, 284-294

  28. Renal replacement therapy • CM properties • Water solubility • Low protein binding • Low intracellular penetration • “middle size” molecules, much larger than urea and creatinine • 80% removal over 4hrs time by high flux dialyzer but much lower for low flux membranes • PD also remove CM but much slower (50% removal over 16 hrs)

  29. Renal replacement therapy Int J Artif Organs 2008; 31, 515-524

  30. RRT cannot prevent CIN Int J Artif Organs 2008; 31, 515-524

  31. Conclusion • Prevent CIN by • Eliminate risk factors if possible • Use low or iso-osmolar CM • Use lower volume of CM • IV hydration (NaHCO3 > NS > 0.45 NaCl) • NAC

  32. Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis • Scleroderma-like systemic fibrosing disorder • Originally termed “nephrogenic fibrosing dermopathy” due to its dominant skin findings but subsequently changed to NSF because of its systemic involvement • First case description in 1997

  33. Peau d’orange skin changes Non-pitting edema with blister and bullae Contracture Cobblestoning and induration skin

  34. Collagen bundles in thickened reticular dermis Extend through subcutaneous tissue Often involve fascia and skeletal muscle

  35. NSF • No single causative agent or trigger was identified previously until 2006 • Five ESRF on HD developed NSF following exposure to Gadolinium-based contrast Nephrol Dial Transplant 21:1104-1108,2006 • Subsequently, numerous published studies and NSF registry have confirmed the link

  36. Gadolinium • Silvery white rare earth metal • Strongly paramagnetic at room temp • Solution of organic gadolinium complex are used as MRI contrast

  37. Gadolinium based contrast agents available

  38. GBCM - pharmacokinetics • Molecular mass – 500-1000Da • Distributed in ECF only (0.26-0.28l/kg) • No protein binding • Excreted unchanged by kidney, renal clearance approx GFR in normal individual • Half life 1.3-1.6hrs but prolonged with low GFR

  39. GBCM - clearance • Normal t1/2 1.3-1.6hr • CKD 3 (30-59) t1/2 5hr • CKD 4 (15-29) t1/2 9hr • CKD 5 (<15) t1/2 34hr • HD t1/2 2.1hr • PD without residual renal fx t1/2 53hr

  40. NSF - Pathogenesis • Delay in GBCM excretion due to renal impairment • Spontaneous dissociation of the Gd-chelate complex into metal-ion and ligand • Free Gd forms precipitate with anions (PO4, CO3 etc) in the tissue • Internalized macrophages • Produce cytokines • Attract circulating fibrocytes • Induce tissue fibrosis

  41. Procedure in which 10-15% of the patient's white blood cells are removed from the body by leukapheresis. White blood cells are exposed to a chemical agent that is activated by ultraviolet A (UVA) light. Activation by the UVA light induces an inhibition of the host response to foreign histocompatibility antigens. The photo-irradiated cells are washed free of the drug and re-infused into the patient. Indications: Cutaneous TCL, scleroderma
