Brief Summary:

Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is a well-recognized complication of radiographic contrast administration and is associated with increased short- and long-term mortality. Previous strategies including forced diuresis with diuretics or mannitol, intravenous administration of fenoldopam or dobutamine, and postprocedure hemodialysis to prevent CIN have been largely unsuccessful. In addition, the use of N-acetylcysteine to prevent CIN has yielded conflicting outcomes.

A review of a large insurance database and retrospective study have shown that statins therapy is associated with a lower incidence of CIN after percutaneous coronary intervention. The preventive effect of statins on CIN may be attributed to direct pleiotropic effects on the vascular wall such as improvement of endothelial dysfunction, anti-inflammatory or anti-oxidative effect. However, recent randomized trial could not demonstrate the preventive effect of statin on CIN in patients with chronic kidney disease.

Thus, we will investigate the preventive effect of pitavastatin on CIN in patient with renal dysfunction undergoing coronary angiography or intervention.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy [ Time Frame: 48 hours ]
    Contrast-induced nephropathy is defined as either a greater than 25% increase of serum creatinine or an absolute increase in serum creatinine of 0.5 mg/dL after coronary angiography or intervention.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Peak level of serum creatinine [ Time Frame: 48 hours ]
    Peak level of serum creatinine within less than 48 hours after coronary angiography or intervention

  2. serum cystatin-C level [ Time Frame: 24 hours ]
    Absolute level of serum cystatin-C 24 hours after coronary angiography/intervention and Difference level of serum cystatin-C before and after coronary angiography/intervention

  3. serum neutrophil-gelatinase-associated lipocalin(NGAL) level [ Time Frame: 4 hours ]
    Absolute level of serum NGAL level 4 hours after coronary angiography/intervention and difference level before and after coronary angiography/intervention

  4. Length of hospital stay [ Time Frame: an expected average of 5 weeks ]
  5. Clinical events [ Time Frame: 1 month ]
    Composites of death, myocardial infarction, stroke or need for dialysis therapy
