AR group: patients who received a reloading dose of 80 mg atorvastatin, Cys-CIN: Contrast-induced nephropathy based on cystatin C levels, NR group: patients who did not receive a reloading dose, Scr-CIN: contrast induced nephropathy based on Serum creatinine levels.Paradoxically, SCr-based CIN was similar between the AR group and the NR group even in type 2 diabetic people.When comparing changes of renal biomarkers (Δ cystatin, Δcreatinine and Δ Cys-eGFR) between the AR group and the NR group, there were no significant differences (
