Key Points In patients with ST‐segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), five simple variables unrelated to the procedure may accurately identify those at increased risk of contrast‐associated acute kidney injury (CA‐AKI). Assessing the risk of CA‐AKI at the time of hospital admission for STEMI may facilitate the timely implementation of adequate preventive measures and inform patient centered decisions. Further research is needed to identify optimal hydration protocols and adjunctive therapies aimed a mitigating the risk of CA‐AKI after primary PCI.
