Abstract
BACKGROUND: Statins have been demonstrated to prevent the development of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN). Nevertheless, clinical research has indicated conflicting results. We performed a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to evaluate the protective effects of statins on CIN and the requirement of renal replacement therapy (RRT) in patients undergoing coronary angiography/percutaneous interventions. METHODS: PubMed, MEDLINE, Web of Science, EMBASE, ClinicalTrials.gov, and the Cochrane Central RCTs were searched for RCTs from inception to February 2014 to compare statins with placebo treatment for preventing CIN in patients undergoing coronary angiography/percutaneous interventions. RESULTS: Nine RCTs were identified and analyzed in a total of 5143 patients involving 2560 patients with statin pretreatment and 2583 patients as control. Patients who received statin therapy had a 53% lower risk of CIN with different definitions (within 48 or 72 hours) compared to the control group based on a fixed effect model (risk ratio = 0.47, 95% confidence interval = 0.37-0.60, P < .0001) and were less likely to require RRT based on Peto fixed effect. Subgroup analysis showed that statin pretreatment could decrease the incidence of CIN in patients with preexisting renal dysfunction or diabetes mellitus. In addition, patients on rosuvastatin had a similar reduced incidence of CIN compared to patients on atorvastatin. CONCLUSION: This updated meta-analysis demonstrated that preprocedural statin treatment could reduce the risk of CIN and the need for RRT in patients undergoing coronary angiography/percutaneous interventions. Moreover, statin therapy would be helpful in reducing the incidence of CIN in high-risk patients with preexisting renal dysfunction or diabetes mellitus. Additionally, rosuvastatin and atorvastatin had similar efficacies in preventing CIN development.
