Blood and urine specimens were collected before operation (at the time of admission) and 6 h, 12 h, 24 h and 48 h after the operation and preserved for future use. Serum creatinine (Scr) levels were tested and an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was counted. Urinary KIM-1, TIMP-2 and sTREM-1 levels were assessed and the preoperative and general data as well as postoperative urinary KIM-1, TIMP-2 and sTREM-1 levels were compared. The early diagnostic value of urinary KIM-1, TIMP-2 and sTREM-1 at 6 hours postoperatively for CI-AKI was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Results: After 48 h of operation, Scr in the CI-AKI group was higher versus the non-CI-AKI group. At 24 h and 48 h postoperatively, eGFR in the CI-AKI group was lower versus the non-CI-AKI group; urinary KIM-1 and sTREM-1 in the CI-AKI group were higher in contrast to the non-CI-AKI group; TIMP-2 in the CI-AKI group was higher versus that in the non-CI-AKI group. ROC curve analysis showed that the areas under the curve (AUCs) for urine KIM-1, TIMP-2, and sTREM-1 in diagnosing CI-AKI at 6 hours postoperatively were 0.852 (95% CI: 0.768– 0.936), 0.810 (95% CI: 0.723– 0.898), and 0.874 (95% CI: 0.804– 0.943), and the cut-off values were 45.93 ng/L, 1.63 ng/mL, and 61.48 ng/L, respectively, with sensitivities of 66.70%, 58.30%, and 72.20%, and specificities of 95.00%, 93.00%, and 91.00%, respectively (all P < 0.05).Conclusion: Urinary KIM-1, TIMP-2 and sTREM-1 can respond to early changes in renal function after PCI and have good application value in the early diagnosis of CI-AKI.Keywords: percutaneous coronary intervention, kidney injury molecule-1, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2, soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1, contrast-induced acute kidney injury
