Preprints with The Lancet is part of SSRN´s First Look, a place where journals identify content of interest prior to publication. Authors have opted in at submission to The Lancet family of journals to post their preprints on Preprints with The Lancet. The usual SSRN checks and a Lancet-specific check for appropriateness and transparency have been applied. Preprints available here are not Lancet publications or necessarily under review with a Lancet journal. These preprints are early stage research papers that have not been peer-reviewed. The findings should not be used for clinical or public health decision making and should not be presented to a lay audience without highlighting that they are preliminary and have not been peer-reviewed.

Background: Hydration remains the cornerstone prevention of contrast-induced acute kidney injury among high risk patients. However, there is great conflict between long-term preprocedural hydration and shortest door-to-balloon time among patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction. We aimed to determine the effects of aggressive and targeted hydration on contrast-induced acute kidney injury in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention.
Methods: We did this open-label, randomized controlled trial at 15 teaching hospitals in China. Patients who undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention at high risk for contrast-induced acute kidney injury were randomized (1:1) to receive aggressive hydration (preprocedural loading dose of 125/250 mL normal saline within 30 minutes, followed by postprocedural hydration guided by left ventricular end-diastolic pressure for 4 hours and additional hydration until 24 hours after primary percutaneous coronary intervention) or general hydration (≤500 mL normal saline from randomization until 6 hours after primary percutaneous coronary intervention). The primary endpoint is contrast-induced acute kidney injury, defined as a >25% or 0.5 mg/dL increase in serum creatinine from baseline during the first 48-72 hours after primary angioplasty. Postprocedural acute heart failure is the safety endpoint. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT02067195.
Findings: Between July 2014 and May 2018, we enrolled 560 patients, of whom 488 patients (mean age 60.1 years, 414 [84.8%] male) were analysed after excluding 72 patients, and 19 patients were not included in primary endpoint analysis for lacking periprocedural serum creatinine data. Contrast-induced acute kidney injury occurred in 51 of 234 patients (21.8%) in the aggressive hydration group and 73 of 235 patients (31.1%) in the control group. The absolute difference (Aggressive hydration vs general hydration) was -11.9% (95% CI -9.4% to -15.0%). Postprocedural acute heart failure did not differ significantly between the aggressive hydration group and the control group (7.9% vs. 6.9%, P=0.69).
Interpretation: In high-risk patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention, aggressive hydration reduced the risk of contrast-induced acute kidney injury and was generally well tolerated, with no significantly increase in postprocedural acute heart failure. Aggressive and targeted hydration could be a new treatment strategy for patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction.
