Editorial Prevention of contrast nephropathy after cardiac catheterisation
نویسنده
چکیده
Increasing numbers of patients in the developed world are exposed to contrast medium during cardiac catheterisation procedures, and the pressure to increase cardiac laboratory throughput of patients with suspected coronary disease is unrelenting. For this reason, the problem of radiocontrast induced nephropathy (RCIN) assumes greater and greater importance. How is the fallout from contrast exposure to be minimised?

Background and purpose: N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) has been found to reduce the risk of Contrast Induced Nephropathy (CIN) in chronic renal insufficiency after CT imaging with contrast enhancement. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the efficacy of NAC, for the prevention of CIN in normal renal functioning patients undergoing coronary angiography. Materials and Methods: We prospe...

Necrotising enterocolitis occurred in 3 infants after angiography at cardiac catheterisation. It is suggested that hypertonic contrast medium might have been responsible and that this complication could be avoided by the use of nonionic contrast media.

متن کاملContrast 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...
