Risk Factors for Contrast-Induced AKI in Transplant Patients ID’d
Risk factors include impaired renal function and inadequate hydration prior to contrast exposure.
Contrast Nephropathy
Study Questions Prophylactic Hydration as Standard Care for CIN
High-risk patients who did not receive guidelines-recommended prophylactic hydration prior to procedures requiring iodinated contrast media had the same rate of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) as patients who received usual care, according to results from the phase 3 AMACING trial published online ahead of print in The Lancet.1 CIN refers to the decline in renal function…
Furosemide With Matched Hydration Prevents Contrast Nephropathy
Compared with control treatment, RenalGuard therapy correlated with significantly reduced CI-AKI, as well as a reduced need for renal replacement therapy.
AKI Risk Associated With Radiocontrast May Be Overestimated
In a study, the odds of acute kidney injury were 7% lower among patients who received radiocontrast versus those who did not.
N-Acetylcysteine May Protect Against CIN
N-acetylcysteine patients had significantly decreased odds of contrast-induced nephropathy.
CMX-2043 Did Not Reduce Contrast-Induced Nephropathy
CARIN trial reported no significant differences in acute kidney injury incidence between novel compound CMX-2043 and placebo.
New Findings May Improve Prediction of Contrast-Induced Nephropathy
Risk is linked to small changes in serum creatinine and eGFR on the day after contrast exposure.
Contrast-Induced Nephropathy in Kidney Tx Patients Characterized
Study reveals a 13% incidence of CIN in allograft recipients undergoing computed tomography or cardiac catheterization with contrast media.
Hydration During PCI Reduces Contrast Nephropathy
Contrast-Induced Nephropathy is significantly associated with mortality and need for dialysis; hydration is also a predictor of CIN.
Statins Promising for Cancers
Studies suggest that these cholesterol-lowering drugs can improve treatment of genitourinary cancers and prevent contrast-induced nephropathy.
