Is Contrast Medium Osmolality a Causal Factor for Contrast-Induced Nephropathy?
The exact pathophysiology of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is not fully clarified, yet the osmotic characteristics of contrast media (CM) have been a significant focus in many investigations of CIN. Osmotic effects of CM specific to the kidney include transient decreases in blood flow, filtration fraction, and glomerular filtration rate. Potentially significant secondary effects include an...
متن کاملPreventing Nephropathy Induced by Contrast Medium
Copyright © 2006 Massachusetts Medical Society. A 71-year-old man with type 2 diabetes and hypertension is referred for coronary angiography. His medications include metformin and a thiazide. Before the angiogram, his serum creatinine level is 1.8 mg per deciliter (160 μmol per liter), yielding an estimated glomerular filtration rate of 40 ml per minute per 1.73 m2 of body-surface area. What ca...

متن کاملCost-effectiveness of iso- versus low-osmolality contrast media in outpatients with high risk of contrast medium-induced nephropathy
Introduction. Contrast media can cause acute renal failure by direct toxic effects on the tubular cells and kidney ischemia. Diabetics and hospitalized patients have a greater risk of developing contrastinduced nephropathy than the general population. Objective. The cost effectiveness of iso and low-osmolality contrast media was assessed in high risk outpatients. Materials and methods. The anal...
متن کاملContrast medium-induced nephropathy, a more practical approach to prevention?
To The Editor: we read with interest the good review article by Drs Sterner and Nyman [1] concerning the safe use of intravascular contrast medium for both coronary interventions and multichannel detector computed tomography. As a radiology department in the United Kingdom, our current policy is to follow specific guidelines issued by the Royal College of Radiologists [2] When compared, the two...
