“…(No focal CT nephrograms reported) ↑SCr, Cr Cl and urinary biomarkers | LOCM, LOCM ionic dimer | Yamazaki et al (2001) [ 11 ] | Delayed CT cortical enhancement 16–21 h after TACE in 81/180 (45%) and nephropathy in 11/180 (6%) of treatments. Minimal cortical retention >50 HU and severe retention >100 HU | ↑SCr ≥44 μmol/l or ≥25% | HOCM, LOCM, LOCM ionic dimer |
Monsky et al (2009) [ 12 ] | CT renal nephrograms 24 h post TACE in 14/60 (23.3%) treatments. Global nephrograms associated with significant ( p = 0.031) change in SCr at 24 h. (Delayed segmental nephrograms associated with procedural factors) | ↑SCr at 24 h and 24 h from baseline pre-TACE values | IOCM and LOCM |
↑SCr increase in serum creatinine, μmol/l micromol per liter, CrCl creatinine clearance, HOCM high osmolar contrast media, LOCM low osmolar contrast media, IOCM iso-osmolar contrast media, HU Hounsfield units, CECT contrast-enhanced CT, TACE transarterial chemoembolisation …”
