Abstract: Objective To investigate the safety and efficacy of protective measures(hydration treatment)during perioperative period of interventional therapy for renal function of gerontic patients with coronary artery disease(CAD)complicated by chronic renal insufficiency(CRI).Methods The relation between hydration therapies and the renal function of 168 CAD patients(≥60 years old)complicated by CRI were analyzed.These patients were divided into three groups:in the group A,patients underwent selective coronary angiography(SCA)with conventional treatment during interventional perioperative period(IPP);in the group B,patients underwent SCA and treated with the NaCl plus low dose NaHCO3 during IPP;in the group C,patients underwent percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI),and meanwhile treated with the same dose NaCl and NaHCO3 as the group B during IPP.Results Coronary interventions were successful in all 168 patients.Contrast medium associated nephropathy(CAN)was found in 30 patients,and incidences of the CAN were 17(27.4%)in the group A,3(7.5%)in the group B and 10(15.2%)in the group C,respectively.The accompanying diseases and characteristics of the patients also effected the incidence of CAN:the CAN incidence of patients with hyperlipidemia was significantly higher than that with normal cholesterol(P<0.001);patients with diabetes was significantly higher than that with normal serum glucose(P<0.001);patients with stenosis of renal artery was significantly higher than that with normal renal artery(P<0.001);patients with heart failure(grade Ⅲ～Ⅳ)was significantly higher than that with the grade Ⅰ～Ⅱ(P<0.001).Conclusion The hydration treatment with the NaCl plus low dose NaHCO3 during IPP can protect renal function and increase tolerance for gernotic CAD patients complicated by CRI during IPP,and improve prognosis.
