Contrast-Induced Nephropathy: Pathophysiology and Preventive Strategies

Abstract: Contrast-induced nephropathy is the third most common cause of hospital-acquired renal failure, after decreased renal perfusion and nephrotoxic medications. Identification of patients at risk and implementation of preventive strategies can decrease the incidence of this nephropathy. Prevention strategies focus on counteracting vasoconstriction, enhancing blood flow through the nephron, and providing protection against injury by oxygen free radicals. Knowledge of the adverse effects associated with infusion of … Show more

“…CIAKI is also associated with replacement therapy, prolonged hospitalization, increased medical cost and increased mortality [4, 5]. The factors contributed to the pathophysiology of CIAKI are still under controversy, but primarily involve the tubular toxicity, microvascular alteration, oxidative stress, inflammation and tubular obstruction [4, 6-8]. Among these factors, inflammatory damage may be regarded as one of the most crucial factors in the development of CIAKI.…”

“…CIAKI is the third most common cause of acute renal failure in hospitalized patients [1], accounting for up to 12% of all cases of acute renal failure [2, 3]. CIAKI is also associated with replacement therapy, prolonged hospitalization, increased medical cost and increased mortality [4, 5]. The factors contributed to the pathophysiology of CIAKI are still under controversy, but primarily involve the tubular toxicity, microvascular alteration, oxidative stress, inflammation and tubular obstruction [4, 6-8].…”

“…Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is now the third most common cause of hospital-acquired renal failure. CI-AKI is associated with increased costs of medical care and long admissions and is a strong predictor of poor early and late outcomes [1, 3], especially in patients who are in need of dialysis [4]. Therefore there is a clear need to establish an appropriate and reproducible experimental animal model that can be used to help understand and prevent this disease.…”

“…Iodinated CM-induced nephropathy (CIN) is the third most common cause of hospital-acquired acute kidney injury, which is associated with a lengthened hospital stay, increased health care costs and higher risk of mortality (1)(2)(3). Therefore, it is of great importance to explore effective strategies to prevent CIN.…”
