AB  - The main risk factor for contrast nephropathy is the presence of poor renal 
      function. Plasma creatinine level is not a reliable measure of renal function as 
      its value could lie within the normal range despite the presence of significant 
      nephropathy. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the creatinine clearance 
      rate as a predictor of contrast nephropathy in patients with a normal plasma 
      creatinine level. The study included 273 consecutive patients with non-ST 
      elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTEACS) and a normal plasma creatinine level 
      at admission who underwent coronary angiography. Patients who developed contrast 
      nephropathy had a lower creatinine clearance rate at admission (66.3 mL/min vs. 
      83.4 mL/min; P<.001). A creatinine clearance rate < 80 mL/min had a sensitivity 
      of 81% for predicting contrast nephropathy. Creatinine clearance should be 
      measured routinely in patients with NSTEACS who are scheduled for coronary 
      angiography.
