Computerized Tomography Contrast Induced Nephropathy (CIN) among adult inpatients

Computerized tomography contrast induced nephropathy (CIN) among adult inpatients.

INTRODUCTION Contrast induced nephropathy (CIN) is one of the complications of the use of intravascular contrast agents, being defined as a reduction of the glomerular filtration rate caused by the iodinated contrast. Most CIN data derive from the cardiovascular literature, which identified as the most consistent risk factors pre-existing chronic renal insufficiency and diabetes mellitus. Howev...

Prevention Strategies of Contrast Medium Induced Nephropathy (CIN): A Review of the Current Literature

Contrast medium Induced Nephropathy (CIN) is the third most common cause of renal failure for inpatients and represents the 10% of all Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) occurring during hospital-stay. It is associated with prolonged hospitalization, cost increase and, above all, an unfavourable shortand long-term prognosis with acceleration of chronic renal disease [1]-[3]. The imaging techniques most ...

Contrast-Induced Nephropathy Following CT Scan and Its Associated Factors

Background and purpose: Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) as a common complication of administration of contrast media (CM) is a major source of hospital morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of CIN after contrast-enhanced CT scan and identifying the related risk factors. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out in 100 patients att...
