The Association of SYNTAX and Mehran Scores with Inflammation in Patients with Contrast-Induced Nephropathy Secondary to Acute Coronary Syndrome

Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is the third most common cause of hospital-acquired acute renal failure. The increased use of contrast material in diagnostic and interventional cardiac catheterization procedures has made CIN a frequently encountered problem in clinical cardiology practice. Our study aims to understand the role of inflammatory biomarkers in patients developing CIN and to evaluate the relationship of inflammation with the Mehran Score (MRS) and SYNTAX (SYNERGY Between Percutaneous Coronary Intervention with TAXUS and Cardiac Surgery) Score (SS).
