Abstract
Background
Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) frequently occurs following coronary angiography (CAG) and is associated with worse outcomes, including both short and long-term mortality. Previous studies reported an association between procedural hyperglycemia (PH) and CIN, with or without diabetes mellitus (DM). We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to explore the association of PH and CIN in patients undergoing CAG.
