RESUMEN
Background: To explore the relationship between homocysteine (Hcy) and cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (AKI). Methods: A total of 944 patients who underwent cardiac surgery were enrolled. The association between Hcy levels and the risk of cardiac surgery-associated AKI was evaluated. Results: A total of 135 patients were diagnosed with AKI and the prevalence of AKI was 14.30%. The AKI group had significantly higher levels of Hcy compared with the non-AKI group (16.90 vs 13.56 umol/l; p < 0.001). The incidence rates of AKI increased from 7.2% to 26.72% across increasing Hcy quartiles (p < 0.001). Compared with the first Hcy quartile group, the odds ratio of cardiac surgery-associated AKI was 4.43 (95% CI: 2.27-8.66) in the highest Hcy group. Conclusion: Elevated Hcy level is an independent risk factor for cardiac surgery-associated AKI.

Abstract Purpose To investigate the association between serum bilirubin levels and in-hospital Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACE) in patients with ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI). Methods A total of 418 patients with STEMI who underwent primary PCI were enrolled from October 1st, 2021 to October 31st 2022. The average age of enrolled participants was 59.23 years, and 328 patients (78.50%) were male patients. Patients were divided into MACE (patients with angina pectoris after infarction, recurrent myocardial infarction, acute heart failure, cardiogenic shock, malignant arrhythmias, or death after primary PCI) (n = 98) and non-MACE (n = 320) groups. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to estimate the association between different bilirubin levels including Total Bilirubin (TB), Direct Bilirubin (DB), Indirect Bilirubin (IDB), and risk of in-hospital MACE. The area under the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve was used to determine the accuracy of bilirubin levels in predicting in-hospital MACE. Results The incidence of MACE in STEMI patients increased from the lowest to the highest bilirubin tertiles. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that increased total bilirubin level was an independent predictor of in-hospital MACE in patients with STEMI (p for trend = 0.02). Compared to the first TB group, the ORs for risk of MACE were 1.58 (95% CI 0.77‒3.26) and 2.28 (95% CI 1.13‒4.59) in the second and third TB groups, respectively. The ROC curve analysis showed that the areas under the curve for TB, DB and IDB in predicting in-hospital MACE were 0.642 (95% CI 0.578‒0.705, p < 0.001), 0.676 (95% CI 0.614‒0.738, p < 0.001), and 0.619 (95% CI 0.554‒0.683, p < 0.001), respectively. Conclusions The current study showed that elevated TB, DB, and IDB levels are independent predictors of in-hospital MACE in patients with STEMI after primary PCI, and that DB has a better predictive value than TB and IDB.
