Different Dose Of Nicorandil In The Prevention Of Contrast Induced Nephropathy In Elderly Chd Patients

Objective To study the role of different dose nicorandil in prevention of CIN in elderly CHD patients.Methods One hundred and twenty-one elderly CHD patients were divided into standard dose nicorandil treatment group (n=42),5 mg nicorandil treatment group (n=39) and 10 mg nicorandil treatment group (n=40).Their Scr levels,and eGFR were measured for 3 days before and after PCI.The urine KIM-1 and NGAL levels were measured before and 24 h after PCI.The incidence of CIN and adverse reactions were compared in 3 groups.Results The incidence of (IN and the eGFR ≥25％ were significantly lower,the serum Scr level was significantly lower while the eGFR was significantly higher in 5 mg and 10 mg nicorandil treatment groups than in standard dose nicorandil treatment group on days 1 and 2 after PCI (P＜0.05,P＜0.01).The serum Scr level was significantly lower while the eGFR was significantly higher in 10 mg nicorandil treatment group than in 5 mg nicorandil treatment group on day 2 after PCI (P＜0.05).The urine KIM-1 and NGAL level were significantly lower in 10 mg nicorandil treatment group than in standard dose nicorandil treatment group and 5 mg nicorandil treatment group at 24 h after PCI (2.77±0.33 μg/L vs 5.63±0.27 μg/L,4.82±0.32 μg/L,P＜0.05;41.64±8.42 μg/L vs 66.51±10.72 μg/L,57.11±9.67 μg/L,P＜0.05).Conclusion Different oral doses of nicorandil play a role in prevention of CIN and 10 mg nicorandil plays a greater role than standard dose nicorandil and 5 mg nicorandil in prevention of CIN in elderly CHD patients undergoing PCI.
