TLDR
IV LOCM is a nephrotoxic risk factor in patients with a stable eGFR less than 30 mL/min/1.73 m(2) or greater, with a trend toward significance at 30-44 mL/Min/1m(2), while IV LOCM does not appear to be a nePHrotoxic Risk Factor in patientsWith stable renal function.
Abstract
Intravenous low-osmolality contrast material is a nephrotoxic risk factor in patients with stable estimated glomerular filtration (eGFR) rate of less than 30 mL/min/1.73 m2, with a trend toward significance in patients with stable eGFR of 30–44 mL/min/1.73 m2.

Global epidemiology and outcomes of acute kidney injury

TL;DR: The global epidemiology of acute kidney injury is described and the influence of modifiable and non-modifiable AKI risk factors, delayed diagnosis, variation in diagnostic criteria and disparities in access to health care are also discussed.

Risk of Intravenous Contrast Material–mediated Acute Kidney Injury: A Propensity Score–matched Study Stratified by Baseline-estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate

TL;DR: Diminished eGFR is associated with an increased risk of SCr-defined AKI following CT examinations, however, the risk of AKI is independent of contrast material exposure, even in patients with less than 30 mL/min/1.73 m(2).

Side Effects of Radiographic Contrast Media: Pathogenesis, Risk Factors, and Prevention

TL;DR: It is advised to discontinue potentially nephrotoxic medications, to choose radiocontrast media at lowest dosage, and to encourage oral or intravenous hydration, and in high-risk patients N-acetylcysteine may also be given.

Hospital-acquired renal insufficiency.

TL;DR: Renal function in 4,622 consecutive patients admitted to the medical and surgical services of an urban tertiary care hospital was followed up prospectively from the time of admission and age and preexisting renal insufficiency were risk factors for HARI.

The Kidney: Structure and Function in Health and Disease

TL;DR: This book is certainly one of the best that embraces the whole subject of surgery and it presents a thoroughly readable, sound picture of the essentials of surgery.
