CONTEXT Contrast-induced nephropathy is associated with significant economic and clinical consequences, including prolonged hospitalization, the requirement for dialysis, and an increased risk of death. OBJECTIVES To summarize the current state of evidence for prophylaxis of contrast-induced nephropathy, provide evidence-based recommendations regarding management of high-risk patients undergo...

BACKGROUND Contrast-induced nephropathy is the leading cause of in-hospital acute renal failure. This side effect of contrast agents leads to increased morbidity, mortality, and health costs. Ensuring adequate hydration prior to contrast exposure is highly effective at preventing this complication, although the optimal hydration strategy to prevent contrast-induced nephropathy still remains an ...

INTRODUCTION Contrast-induced acute kidney injury, also referred to as contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN), is a potentially serious renal complication associated with the use of iodinated contrast media (CM) in patients at risk. With the dramatic growth in contrast-enhanced imaging services worldwide, including procedures involving exposure to iodinated CM, efforts to reduce the occurrence of C...

OBJECTIVE To establish whether there is superiority between contrast-induced acute kidney injury and contrast-induced nephropathy criteria as predictors of unfavorable clinical outcomes. METHODS Retrospective study carried out in a tertiary hospital with 157 patients undergoing radiocontrast infusion for propaedeutic purposes. RESULTS One hundred forty patients fulfilled the inclusion crite...

Contrast-induced nephropathy is the third most common cause of hospital-acquired renal failure, after decreased renal perfusion and nephrotoxic medications. Identification of patients at risk and implementation of preventive strategies can decrease the incidence of this nephropathy. Prevention strategies focus on counteracting vasoconstriction, enhancing blood flow through the nephron, and prov...

The use of conventional contrast media for diagnostic purposes (in particular, Gd-containing and iodinated agents) causes a large number complications, the most common which is contrast-induced nephropathy. It has been shown that after exposure to agents, oxidative stress often occurs in patients, especially people suffering from various diseases. Antioxidants human body can diminish pathologic...

Introduction: Contrast-induced nephropathy is one of the most serious adverse effects radiocontrast agents usage. It currently listed in literature as third common cause iatrogenic acute kidney injury. Aim study: The aim this study to provide an overview extent, severity and prevention CIN. shed a broader light on disease entity be helpful resource future for other clinicians struggling with Me...
