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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lights and shadows on the pathogenesis of contrast-induced nephropathy: state of the art.
TL;DR: Considering the amount of contrast media (CM) used today in extracardiac diagnostic procedures, the incidence of nephropathy still remains relatively low, even if the clinical significance of this definition in the absence of preexisting chronic renal failure is questionable.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of inflammation in contrast-induced nephropathy.
TL;DR: It is proposed that inflammatory states confer a higher relative risk for development of CIN, and the importance of inflammation as a risk factor in the development ofCIN is highlighted.
