Incidence of radiocontrast nephropathy in patients undergoing acute stroke computed tomography angiography.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Minimal research has evaluated the renal safety of emergent computed tomography angiography (CTA) procedures, consecutive contrast medium application, and the long-term outcome in acute stroke patients. We investigated the incidence of contrast-induced renal impairment in these populations. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed patients with acute stroke syndrome who rece...
متن کاملAssessment of radiation-induced cancer risk to patients undergoing computed tomography angiography scans
Background: Computed tomography angiography (CTA) scan is a suitable imaging technique to evaluate the blood vessels. However, one major disadvantage is the potential risk of cancer related to ionizing radiation exposure during the procedures. The aim of this investigation was to estimate the risk of exposure induced cancer death (REID) values for some common computed tomography angiography (CT...
متن کاملAcute renal haemodynamic effects of radiocontrast media in patients undergoing left ventricular and coronary angiography.
BACKGROUND Tubular toxicity and renal ischaemia have been implicated in the pathogenesis of radiocontrast media induced nephropathy (CIN), but their respective role remains unclear. Aims. In order to evaluate changes in renal blood flow in response to intra-arterial contrast media administration, we aimed to continuously measure renal arterial perfusion by means of renal blood flow velocity (RB...
متن کاملContrast 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...
متن کاملShort term high dose atorvastatin for the prevention of contrast-induced nephropathy in patients undergoing computed tomography angiography
BACKGROUND Statins are shown effective by some studies in preventing contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN). We evaluated the effectiveness of atorvastatin in the prevention of CIN in computed tomography angiography (CTA) candidates. METHODS This study was conducted on patients referring for elective CTA with normal renal function. Patients received atorvastatin (80 mg/day) or placebo from 24 h b...
