Oxidative stress and kidney injury in trans-radial catheterization

Abstract

Oxidative stress is linked to coronary artery disease and is a major mechanism in contrast-induced nephropathy. Trans-radial approach in coronary angiography (CA) with minimized peri-procedural bleeding is expected to reduce acute kidney injury incidence. In the present study, oxidative stress patterns observed in radial CA and their associations with early manifestations of kidney injury are described. A total of 20 stable coronary disease patients submitted to CA and 17 sex-matched patients undergoing computed tomography for myoskeletal reasons were enrolled. Reduced glutathione, catalase, thiobarbituric acid reactive species (TBARS) levels and total anti-oxidant status were measured at various time points postangiography. In ischemic patients baseline TBARS levels were 2-fold lower compared to controls, while carbonyls levels were 35% higher. Glutathione was almost 4-fold lower than the control group. Glutathione and lipid peroxidation in ischemic patients gradually increased after contrast medium administration and reached 180% (P<0.001) and 20% (P=0.021) after 4–6 h, respectively. Four patients presented early evidence of contrast-induced nephropathy postangiography, while no control patient developed acute kidney injury. In the multiple logistic regression analysis, only the creatinine levels at baseline influenced the frequency of early contrast-induced nephropathy development (β =0.36, 95% CI: 0.285–0.438, P=0.01). Glutathione low levels were dominant in the baseline values of ischemic patients who developed contrast-induced nephropathy. Glutathione levels rapidly increased while protein oxidation decreased at the expense of lipid peroxidation. In conclusion, early oxidative stress changes occur in trans-radial CA patients with a mild profile, sufficient to mobilize patient antioxidant defenses.

A SIRT1 agonist reduces cognitive decline in type 2 diabetic rats through antioxidative and anti‑inflammatory mechanisms

“…SIRT1 is essential for normal cognitive function and synaptic plasticity (22). It has been demonstrated that SIRT1-knockout mice exhibit immediate memory defects, short-term and long-term associative memory impairment, dendritic tree branching of hippocampal neuron and reductions in neurite length and complexity.…”

An evaluation of the antioxidant properties of iodinated radiographic contrast media: An in vitro study

“…Oxidative stress that results from an imbalance between free radicals and antioxidant agents, is one of risk factors that play an important role in contrast-induced nephropathy [ 22 , 23 ]. In addition, the authors have reported that ischemic patients who developed contrast-induced nephropathy were decrease in glutathione [ 24 ].…”

Current Concepts on the Reno-Protective Effects of Phosphodiesterase 5 Inhibitors in Acute Kidney Injury: Systematic Search and Review

“…CIN is a real, albeit rare, entity in current clinical medical practice that represents a serious iatrogenic AKI form, occurring 24-72 h after administration of iodinated contrast media (CM) during angiographic or other procedures, such as urography [3,25]. The exact pathophysiology of CIN is not fully elucidated but oxidative stress is considered a major mechanism in CIN [26], and the identification of novel biomarkers that may more accurately detect renal function changes, reflect kidney damage, assist monitoring, and elucidate pathophysiology have attracted considerable scientific attention nowadays [27]. CM passing through the kidney results in an intense tubular transport that increases the activity in the thick ascending limb of Henle's loop.…”
