Prevention of contrast induced nephropathy after interventional cardiologic procedures deserves close interest because of its association with prolonged hospitalization, increased cost and increased in hospital and long term mortality rates. An observational prospective cohort study was designed to determine whether metabolic syndrome predicts the development of contrast induced nephropathy after elective percutaneous coronary intervention.

Contrast induced nephropathy
Contrast induced nephropathy was defined as an increase in serum creatinine of \>25% or \>0.5 mg/dl above the baseline value 24 or 48 hours after angiography.
Time frame: 24-48 hours after the percutaneous coronary intervention
glomerular filtration rate
Glomerular filtration rate was estimated using the Cockcroft-Gault formula: (140-age) x weight (kg)/ serum creatinine (mg/dl) x 72 (x 0.85 for females)
Time frame: 48 hours after the percutaneous coronary intervention
