Abstract :

Objective: To assess the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and the in–hospital prognosis and outcomes. Methods: This single–centered, observational study included 200 patients, who were admitted to the hospital for treatment of ACS between October, 2016 and March, 2017. The incidence of AKI during hospital admission was assessed such that creatinine levels were measured at admission and at discharge. Results: Of 200 patients, 50 (25%) patients had AKI. 50% patients had ST elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI), 40% had NSTEMI, 10% had unstable angina. In–hospital complications were atrial fiillation (24%), ventricular tachycardia (VT) (16%), pulmonary edema (42%), cardiogenic shock (26%), bleeding complications (14%), and mortality (22%). Conclusion: In the light of these results, it can be concluded that incidence of acute kidney injury in acute coronary syndrome patients has been allied with increased incidences of in–hospital complications and mortality.
