Journal ArticleDOI

Contrast material-induced renal failure in patients with diabetes mellitus, renal insufficiency, or both. A prospective controlled study.

TL;DR: It is concluded that there is little risk of clinically important nephrotoxicity attributable to contrast material for patients with diabetes and normal renal function or for nondiabetic patients with preexisting renal insufficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI

Left ventricular mass index increase in early renal disease: impact of decline in hemoglobin.

TL;DR: There remains a critical need to establish optimal therapeutic strategies and targets to improve clinical outcomes in patients with progressive renal disease, and the important modifiable risk factors are defined.
Journal ArticleDOI

Metaanalysis of the relative nephrotoxicity of high- and low-osmolality iodinated contrast media.

TL;DR: Use of LOCM may be beneficial in patients with existing renal failure, and the pooled odds of a rise in SCr level of more than 44 mumol/L with LOCM was three times that after HOCM.
Journal ArticleDOI

Preventing Nephropathy Induced by Contrast Medium

TL;DR: A 71-year-old man with type 2 diabetes and hypertension is referred for coronary angiography and his medications include metformin and a thiazide, and the risk that an angiographic contrast medium will worsen his kidney function is high.
