Preventing contrast-induced nephropathy: problems, challenges and future directions
Contrast-induced nephropathy is an injury to the kidney occurring as a result of exposure to intravascular contrast media. It results in both short- and long-term adverse events including mortality. Since treatment of the injury after it has occurred is ineffective, efforts to prevent the injury are the focus of investigators and clinicians alike. In this commentary, the pathogenesis and clinic...
متن کاملPreventing contrast-induced nephropathy: a basic solution.
This is a good quality study that demonstrates a dramatic decrease in the incidence of contrast nephropathy with the use of sodium bicarbonate infusion prior to contrast administration. However, this study does have some shortcomings. The small sample size resulted in relatively wide confidence intervals and made the generally low attrition rate more significant. The data was not analyzed on an...

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 کاملContrast safety in the cancer patient: preventing contrast-induced nephropathy
Cancer patients undergo frequent imaging examinations. Computed tomography (CT) examinations for tumor staging and assessment of treatment response generally require administration of intravascular contrast medium. Iodinated contrast agents for CT are associated with the risk of contrast-induced nephrotoxicity (CIN), particularly in patients with impaired renal function and diabetes. In many ca...
