In our study, we aimed to investigate how whole blood viscosity (WBV) affects the development of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). In our study, 500 patients who applied to the cardiology clinic and underwent PCI for elective procedure, ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), and non-STEMI were prospectively included. Before the procedure, we calculated WBV using the formula [(0.12×hematocrit) + (0.17×(total protein - 2.07)]. We defined C
