Contrast Induced Nephropathy - A Review Rajul Rastogi Prabhat Kumar Bhagat Yuktika Gupta Shourya Sharma Pragya Sinha Pankaj Kumar Das Mohini ChaudharyVijai Pratap<p>In the modern era of widespread utilisation of imaging procedures for preoperative diagnosis and minimal invasive surgeries, intravenous contrast plays a major role in delineation of variety of information related to vascularity of normal as well as abnormal tissues. Vascular structures may themselves be focus of&nbsp; attention for various vascular interventional procedures, again requiring intravenous contrast. Since the intravenous contrast agent used in the imaging procedures is primarily excreted through kidneys, hence pre-procedural renal function should be adequate not only to facilitate its excretion for preventing effects related to contrast retention in body but also contrast-induced nephrotoxicity. As contrast-induced nephropathy is being increasingly encountered in day-to-day practice recently, hence this article focuses on the different facets of contrast-induced nephropathy secondary to iodinated contrast from etiology, risk factors to management.</p> Archives of Clinical Nephrology - Peertechz Publications 2017-01-19 Review Article https://doi.org/10.17352/acn.000016 en Copyright © Rajul Rastogi et al.
