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...
متن کاملContrast-Induced Nephropathy: Managing At-Risk Patients
The administration of iodinated contrast media (CM) is a standard component of many computed tomography (CT) examinations. The large number of procedures performed each year and the infrequency of adverse events attests to the safety of CM. However, a small number of patients experience adverse events that are directly related to the CM or the procedure being performed. In this chapter, we exam...
متن کاملContrast-induced nephropathy--prevention and risk reduction.
Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is a serious, but potentially preventable adverse event associated with the use of iodinated contrast media (CM). Studies suggest that the occurrence of CIN is directly related to the number of pre-existing patient risk factors such as pre-existing renal insufficiency (RI) with or without diabetes, advanced age, congestive heart failure and dehydration. Becaus...
متن کاملRisk factors for contrast-induced nephropathy.
An increasing number of diagnostic imaging and interventional procedures require the use of radiographic contrast agents which has led to a parallel increase in the incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN). CIN is a serious clinical problem associated with increased morbidity and mortality, particularly in patients with chronic renal failure (see the Case Report). A key step to minimize ...
متن کاملCost-effectiveness of iso- versus low-osmolality contrast media in outpatients with high risk of contrast medium-induced nephropathy
Introduction. Contrast media can cause acute renal failure by direct toxic effects on the tubular cells and kidney ischemia. Diabetics and hospitalized patients have a greater risk of developing contrastinduced nephropathy than the general population. Objective. The cost effectiveness of iso and low-osmolality contrast media was assessed in high risk outpatients. Materials and methods. The anal...
