{Abstract}: Background: Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is one of the most important complications after invasive cardiovascular procedures. Considering the pivotal role of inflammation in CIN development, the use of peripheral blood-based indexes may be an easily available biomarker to predict CIN risk. Therefore, in the present study, we evaluated the association between the pan-immune-inflammation value (PIV) and the risk of CIN. Patients and Methods: A total of 1343 patients undergoing coronary angiography (CAG) were included. The PIV was calculated with the following equation: (neutrophil count × platelet count × monocyte count)/lymphocyte count. Multivariable regression analyses were used to determine the association between clinical and laboratory parameters and CIN development. Results: The median age of the cohort was 58 (IQR 50-67), and 48.2% of the patients were female. CIN developed in 202 patients (15%) in follow-up. In multivariate analyses, older age (OR: 1.015, 95% CI: 1.002-1.028, p = 0.020) and higher PIV levels (OR: 1.016, 95% CI: 1.004-1.028, p = 0.008) were associated with a higher CIN risk, while the use of antiplatelet agents was associated with a lower risk of CIN (OR: 0.670, 95% CI: 0.475-0.945, p = 0.022). Conclusions: We demonstrated that the risk of CIN was significantly higher in patients with higher PIV and older patients in a large cohort of patients undergoing CAG for stable ischemic heart disease. If supported with prospective evidence, PIV levels could be used as a minimally invasive reflector of CIN.
