Background The aim of the study was to assess (i) the rate of contrast-induced nephropathy
(CIN),(ii) the amount and time course of renal dysfunction,(iii) the identification of risk factors …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is one of the most
common causes of in-hospital acute renal failure. The aim of this study was to assess the …

The incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy was examined in 1,075 patients receiving
routine CT angiography and CT perfusion brain imaging at a single institution. Fifty-two …

Background and Purpose—Because of the perceived risk of contrast-induced acute kidney
injury (AKI), many centers require pre-imaging serum creatinine levels, potentially delaying …
