Low contrast material dose coronary computed tomographic angiography using a dual-layer spectral detector system in patients at risk for contrast-induced nephropathy

Contrast Induced Nephropathy After Brain and Cervical CT Angiography in Stroke Patients: A Prospective Study

Background: Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is a major side effect of intravenous iodinated contrast and causes both short- and long-term adverse effects. While diagnostic and interventional procedures of brain ischemia are recently advanced, it is necessary to be cautious about its major side effect. Objectives: To evaluate CIN and its risk factors in neurology patients after brain and cer...

Risk factors for contrast-induced nephropathy after coronary angiography.

Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is of concern after the use of radiocontrast media for coronary angiography (CAG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We studied the incidence of CIN and its risk factors in patients undergoing CAG. In this prospective study, we included all patients with normal renal parameters undergoing CAG with nonionic radiocontrast media. We excluded patients w...

Safe limits of contrast vary with hydration volume for prevention of contrast-induced nephropathy after coronary angiography among patients with a relatively low risk of contrast-induced nephropathy.

BACKGROUND Few studies have investigated the safe limits of contrast to prevent contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) based on hydration data. We aimed to investigate the relative safe maximum contrast volume adjusted for hydration volume in a population with a relatively low risk of CIN. METHODS AND RESULTS The ratios of contrast volume-to-creatinine clearance (V/CrCl) and hydration volume to b...

Coronary Angiography and Contrast-Induced Nephropathy

atorvastatin and prevention of contrast induced nephropathy following coronary angiography

background: contrast induced nephropathy (cin) is one of the most common complications after radiographic procedures using intravascular radiocontrast media. the aim of the current study was to assess the effect of atorvastatin on prevention of cin in patients undergoing coronary angiography. materials and methods: in a clinical trial study, 200 patients referred for angiography were randomly d...
