Abstract
- <bold>Background: </bold>It remained lack of a kind of contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) model which was widely used in clinical practice and comparable to CI-AKI in humans.<bold>Methods: </bold>Fifty Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into five groups of 10 rats each: (1) sham group (normal saline [NS] + NS); (2) NS plus low osmolality contrast medium (CM15) (NS + CM15); (3) furosemide (FM) plus NS (FM + NS); (4) FM + CM10; and (5) FM + CM15.We measured the levels of serum creatinine (SCr), cystatin C (cys-C) and histopathological scores of kidney tissues.<bold>Results: </bold>SCr level in the FM + CM15 group were significantly increased after CM exposure compared with baseline levels (32.9 ± 4.57 vs. 158.7 ± 14.48 μmol/L, p < 0.001). Minor changes were found about the SCr levels between the pre- and post-exposure CM or NS treatment in the other groups. Additionally, the cys-C levels after CM exposure were increased compared with pretreatment levels in the FM + CM15 group (0.08 ± 0.03 vs. 0.18 ± 0.05 mg/L, p < 0.001). Minor changes were noted in the FM + NS group before and after NS administration. Only rats in the FM + CM15 group developed CI-AKI with the definitions of SCr or cys-C. Comparing to the FM + NS group, the histopathological scores were significantly increased in the FM + CM15 group.<bold>Conclusions: </bold>A simple and reliable animal model for low osmolality contrast medium-induced AKI was established, which is similar to clinical CI-AKI based on different definitions for AKI.
