Low hematocrit predicts contrast-induced nephropathy after percutaneous coronary interventions
BACKGROUND: The relationship between low hematocrit and contrast-induced nephropathy has not been investigated. METHODS: Of 6,773 consecutive patients treated with percutaneous coronary intervention, contrast-induced nephropathy (an increase of >/=25% or

Sodium bicarbonate-based hydration prevents contrast-induced nephropathy: a meta-analysis [PDF]
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.

Contrast-induced nephropathy after computed tomography
Introduction: Contrast induced nephropathy is the third most prevalent preventable cause of acute kidney injury in hospitalized patients. It defined as an absolute increase in serum creatinine ≥ 0.5 mg/dL and relative ≥ 25% increase.

Contrast‐Induced Nephropathy [PDF]
Radiological procedures utilizing intravascular iodinated contrast media are being widely applied for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes and represent one of the main causes of contrast‐induced nephropathy (CIN) and hospital‐acquired renal failure.

Iodinated contrast agents are widely prescribed and used in medical practice, and their potential deleterious effects to renal function have been recognized in the literature. Depending on the definition adopted for contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) and the characteristics of the studied population, the incidence of CIN ranges from 10% to 30 ...

Pathophysiology of contrast-induced nephropathy
Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is the third leading cause of acute kidney injury in hospitalized patients and is associated with significant patient morbidity. The pathogenesis of CIN is complex and not fully understood, but iodinated contrast agents

Recent clinical data suggest that contrast‑induced nephropathy (CIN), defined as a rapid deterioration of renal function that usually occurs 48‑72 hours after the administration of the contrast agent, is much more common than previously thought.

Contrast-induced nephropathy [PDF]
Contrast-induced nephropathy is defined as a serum creatinine level that increases by at least 25% or is 44.2 μmol/L greater than baseline within three days of receiving contrast medium intravascularly in the absence of another cause.

Contrast nephropathy is a generally reversible form of acute kidney injury (AKI) that occurs soon after the administration of radiocontrast media. Although AKI is reversible in most cases, its development may be associated with adverse outcomes.
