Contrast-Induced Nephropathy and Oxygen Pretreatment in Patients With Impaired Renal Function

Introduction Contrast-induced nephropathy is a complication following coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention. Because contrast-induced nephropathy is a predictor of long-term mortality in patients with ischemic heart disease undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention, preventive strategies are required. We assessed the effects of periprocedural oxygenation on contrast-in...

Contrast induced nephropathy among patients with normal renal function undergoing coronary angiography

INTRODUCTION Although contrast induced nephropathy (CIN) is a well-known complication of radiocontrast media administration among patients with underlying renal insufficiency, however the data about CIN among patients with normal renal function are few and it seems that CIN often remained under-diagnosed among these patients. OBJECTIVES The aim of present study was evaluation of CIN in diabet...

Safe Contrast Volumes for Preventing Contrast-Induced Nephropathy in Elderly Patients With Relatively Normal Renal Function During Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

The aim of this study was to evaluate contrast media volume to creatinine clearance (V/CrCl) ratio for predicting contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) and to determine a safe V/CrCl cut off value to avoid CIN in elderly patients with relatively normal renal function during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We prospectively enrolled 1020 consecutive elderly patients (age ≥65 years) with re...

Assessment of Renal Function, Iatrogenic Hyperkalemia and Acute Renal Dysfunction in Cardiology. Contrast-Induced Nephropathy

Renal impairment influences the prognosis of patients with cardiovascular disease and increases cardiovascular risk. Renal dysfunction is a marker of lesions in other parts of the vascular tree and detection facilitates early identification of individuals at high risk of cardiovascular events. In patients with cardiovascular disease, renal function is assessed by measuring albuminuria in a spot...
