Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) in the actual essence of the term refers to renal damage induced by a contrast medium. The ultimate clinical manifestation of CIN is renal failure requiring dialysis, and this article will concentrate on CIN as a clinical outcome. However, transient rises in serum creatinine have been frequently used as a surrogate marker that is suggested to predict renal…

Today, in industrialised countries, we are treating more and more patients with coronary artery disease or structural heart disease, due, in part, to an increase in life expectancy over the last 50 years, as well as an increasing incidence of risk factors such as diabetes and obesity. Accordingly, there has been a rise in the use of contrast-enhanced diagnostic imaging and interventional…

The Problem of Contrast-induced Nephropathy
Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is an increasingly common cause of acute renal failure in both hospitalized patients and out-patients. The growth in contrast-enhanced imaging and interventional procedures is one cause of the increased incidence of CIN. An aging patient population, with more comorbidities such as reduced renal function, may be…

Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) represents an increasing healthcare burden and challenge as the frequency of diagnostic imaging and interventional studies increase, particularly among populations at risk of developing CIN. As the population ages, decreased renal function and increased atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease become more prevalent. Increasing levels of obesity with resultant…

The use of iodinated contrast media (CM) for both diagnostic imaging and interventional studies continues to increase. The introduction of multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) scanners allows for quicker imaging of internal organs, and image acquisition is now fast enough for study of the coronary arteries. This technology requires the delivery of a high concentration of iodine to the…

Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is one of the most common causes of hospital-acquired acute renal failure.1,2 The development of CIN after diagnostic coronary angiography and/or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is associated with prolonged hospitalisation and a remarkable increase in morbidity, early and late mortality and costs.3–6 CIN is an absolute (≥0.5mg/dl) or relative (≥25%)…
