Acute renal failure (ARF) represents 17% of the
complications of
cardiac catheterization (CC), with a high
death rate and longer
hospitalization time . The objective of this
review is to describe the most cited
risk factors for
acute kidney failure in the
literature . It is a descriptive and exploratory Integrative
Literature Review (ILR) with a qualitative approach, using articles published in the
Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature (
LILACS ) and
PubMed databases between the years of 2009 and 2019 in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, including original articles, reviews, and
case studies . The search was made using the following
descriptors cardiac catheterism,
kidney diseases ,
risk factors , coronary
catheterization ,
acute kidney injury ,
acute renal failure , and nephropathies. The
organization and
analysis of the data was through the application of a
questionnaire that was structured by the authors, and the results are presented in a table. For the final sample, 10 articles were sought. The highlighted factors were being
elderly , hypertensive, and diabetic; having previous
kidney disease ,
hypotension ,
heart failure , higher contrast volumes, and types; the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory
drugs associated to other
risk factors ; and
atrial fibrillation .
Atrial fibrillation was the main finding, which has recently been documented. The identification of
risk factors provides
health professionals with information to plan
measures to prevent ARF, minimizing
complications ,
length of stay , and
mortality . / This study was funded by the Evandro Chagas Institute (IEC)/ Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPQ)/ Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior é uma fundação vinculada ao Ministério da Educação do Brasil (CAPES).
