Ja, had ik al rekening mee gehouden.
Het aantal patiënten in de CIN PCI doelgroep zijn er ruim 4.000.000.
Uit het rapport van First Berlin;
www.more-ir.de/d/17117.pdfContrast-induced nephropathy (CIN)
13-21% of 75m patients undergoing contrast-enhanced investigations at risk of CIN CIN is a form of acute kidney injury resulting from the use of contrast media in investigations carried out to enhance views of pathology in vascular systems. About 75 million contrast- enhanced investigations are carried out every year of which half in the USA and half in the rest of the world. The majority of the patients affected by CIN are those with existing kidney impairment, i.e. about 13%-21% of the total. 6-11% of these patients develop full CIN. In these patients, CIN can necessitate dialysis, kidney transplant or end in death.
Incidence highest for patients with renal condition undergoing coronary procedure
Around 45% of patients who receive contrast media also undergo percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). PCI is a non-surgical part of the procedure used to treat narrowed coronary arteries in coronary heart disease.
