Acute Renal Failure After Excretory Urography in Diabetic Patients

Abstract: Currently used contrast media for excretory urography are generally considered safe even in the presence of renal insufficiency. Isolated reports of acute oliguric renal failure in diabetic patients after excretory urography have been documented. We describe eight such patients who developed this complication. The approximate incidence of recognized acute oliguric renal failure in diabetics undergoing excretory urography was 2 in 1000 as compared with none in more than 100 000 procedures done in nondiabetic pa… Show more

“…Of 8 patients with mildly elevated pre-IVP serum creatinines (1.5-1.8 mg/dl), 3 demonstrated a sig nificant rise in serum creatinine following IVP; 1 patient became transiently oliguric. In addition, there are several case reports of similar oliguric episodes in diabetic pa tients with evidence of only mild renal insufficiency [9,18,20,23,34,65]. These cases underscore the suscepti bility of any diabetic patient with renal disease.…”

“…As awareness of the toxicity of contrast media has grown over the past few years, so have estimates of the frequency of complica tions. Several predisposing factors have been implicated; the most significant are preexisting renal insufficiency [8,18,20,22,[29][30][31][32][33] and diabetes mellitus [3,5,11,18,20,25,31,33]. Of the more than 250 published cases of con trast nephropathy, over 90% involved patients with renal insufficiency and over 50% involved patients with dia betes mellitus.…”

“…ARF in patients with diabetic nephropathy may be caused by 1) dehydration during prolonged vomiting or diarrhea, frequently seen in patients with autonomic neuropathy, 2) hypotension in patients with autonomic neuropathy, and 3) contrast material injection (34). The importance of preventing ARF in this population becomes evident if consideration is given to its frequency and severity, and the possibility that it may prove irreversible in patients with moderately advanced renal insufficiency.…”

“…Serum creatinine peaks within 3-5 days, then returns to baseline by 7-10 days. [6][7][8] How high the serum creatinine must increase for the diagnosis of RCIN is somewhat arbitrary. For research purposes, RCIN is defi ned as a serum creatinine increase of 0.5 mg/dL or 25% above baseline within 2-3 days of radiocontrast administration.…”
