Objective To analyze systematic reviews (SRs) and meta-analyses on the efficacy of pharmacological interventions in the prevention of contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods We searched the PubMed, The Cochrane Library, EMbase, CNKI, CBM, WanFang Data, and VIP databases to identify SRs and meta-analyses on the pharmacological interventions aimed at preventing CI-AKI after PCI from inception of the databases to February 2022. Two researchers independently screened the literature and extracted data. The PRISMA statement, AMSTAR 2 tool, and GRADE system were adopted to evaluate the reporting quality, methodological quality, and evidence quality of the findings of the included SRs and meta-analyses. Results A total of 14 SRs and meta-analyses were identified. Among the drugs used were statins, N-acetylcysteine, sodium bicarbonate, Dan-hong injection, vitamins, salvianolate, adenosine antagonists, nicorandil, allopurinol, alprostadil, furosemide, trimetazidine, probucol, and brain natriuretic peptide. Most of the studies had relatively comprehensive coverage of the items, with the PRISMA scores ranging from 18 to 24.5. The main issues of reporting quality were protocol and registration, search, and funding. The methodological quality of the SRs and meta-analyses was generally low. Items 2 and 7 were the key items with poor scores, and the non-critical items with poor scores were items 3, 10, and 16. All drugs, except furosemide, decreased the incidence of CI-AKI. The quality of evidence ranged from medium to very low according to GRADE. Conclusion  Most of the single drugs or drugs combined with hydration show the potential to prevent CI-AKI, however, the overall methodological quality of the included studies is relatively low, and the strength of evidence is generally low.
