Abstract: Among 63 patients, 39,7% were female and 60,3% were male, with average age of 63,1 years.34 (54%) patients had post PCI creatinine values within the at least 7 days and among them 5 (14,7%) developed preventable CI-AKI.The predicted post PCI CI-AKI development by Mehran's score were 20,6%, 8,8% and 5,9% for moderate, high and very high risks, respectively.Figure 2 shows significant linear correlation (r¼ 0.724, p value<0.0001) between express creatinine measured from capillary blood and biochemical panel creatinine.Conclusions: Point of care creatinine measurements from finger capillary blood can provide baseline kidney function before urgent PCI and should be used to predict development of CI-AKI.Further studies in large cohorts and prescription of preventive infusions in moderate to high-risk patients' during the urgent PCI warrants better outcomes after post PCI CI-AKI.I have no potential conflict of interest to disclose.I did not use generative AI and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process.
