Contrast-media induced nephropathy in patients undergoing coronary angiography

Vitor O Gomes et al. J Invasive Cardiol. 2003 Jun.

Abstract

Contrast-medium induced nephropathy (CIN) in patients undergoing cardiac catheterization has an extremely variable incidence, which is very elevated in high-risk subgroups. Despite its benign course in most cases, it is associated with a longer hospital stay, and elevated in-hospital and late mortality rates. This paper reviews the physiopathogenesis of CIN, as well as the clinical manifestations and preventive measures currently available.
