conclusions contrast-agent-induced nephropathic changes are more closely related to the magnitude of lipid peroxidation than protein oxidation. results compared with the control group, groups cin and n + cin had significantly higher urea and lhp levels (p < 0.05 and p < 0.001, respectively) and significantly lower cu, zn-sod activity and creatinine clearance (p < 0.05). there was no statistical...

INTRODUCTION The incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy has increased simultaneously with the increase in contrast medium use in diagnostic and interventional procedures. The incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy in the general population is low, but increases exponentially in patients with risk factors, such as diabetes and chronic kidney disease. Several strategies have been used in or...

Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is a well-known complication of contrast media administration for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. The incidence CIN has increased with the widespread use imaging media. pathological condition that typically occurs within 48 hours exposure to material results in an increase serum creatinine levels more than 44 µmol/L (0.5 mg/dL) or 25% above baseline 1.5 t...

An increasing number of diagnostic imaging procedures requires the use of intravenous radiographic contrast agents, which has led to a parallel increase in the incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy. Risk factors for development of contrast-induced nephropathy include pre-existing renal dysfunction (especially diabetic nephropathy and multiple myeloma-associated nephropathy), dehydration, co...
