Contrast Induced Nephropathy After Brain and Cervical CT Angiography in Stroke Patients: A Prospective Study

Background: Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is a major side effect of intravenous iodinated contrast and causes both short- and long-term adverse effects. While diagnostic and interventional procedures of brain ischemia are recently advanced, it is necessary to be cautious about its major side effect. Objectives: To evaluate CIN and its risk factors in neurology patients after brain and cer...

Contrast-Induced Nephropathy Following CT Scan and Its Associated Factors

Background and purpose: Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) as a common complication of administration of contrast media (CM) is a major source of hospital morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of CIN after contrast-enhanced CT scan and identifying the related risk factors. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out in 100 patients att...

Contrast Induced Nephropathy - A Review

In the modern era of widespread utilisation of imaging procedures for preoperative diagnosis and minimal invasive surgeries, intravenous contrast plays a major role in delineation of variety of information related to vascularity of normal as well as abnormal tissues. Vascular structures may themselves be focus of attention for various vascular interventional procedures, again requiring intraven...

Contrast-induced nephropathy.

Contrast-induced nephropathy is defined as a serum creatinine level that increases by at least 25% or is 44.2 μmol/L greater than baseline within three days of receiving contrast medium intravascularly in the ab sence of another cause. Contrastinduced nephropathy is usually selflimiting; at worst, it can make the patient permanently dependent on hemodialysis or can result in death. Main risk fa...
