The impact of changes in N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide on the outcome of acute kidney injury in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction after percutaneous coronary intervention: a retrospective study.
BACKGROUND Patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are at heightened risk of acute kidney injury (AKI). Prior studies have suggested that serum N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) may be linked to AKI development, proposing i...
