Presentation Transcript

  1. IMAGING IN RENAL IMPAIRMENT • Contrast induced nephropathy (CIN) is the third most • common cause of acute kidney injury in hospitalized • patients • Defined as increase in serum creatinine of >/+0.5 mg/dl • within 48hr of exposure to contrast or relative 25% • increase in serum creatinine from baseline • Clinical course is rise to serum creatinine within 24h of • contrast exposure, peak within 3-7 days and returns to • baseline within 14 days (25)

  2. CIN AND IMAGING • Risk factors– chromic kidney, Diabetes, class IV heart • failure, age, hypovolemia, hypotension • Higher volumes of contrast increases the likelihood of CIN • The risk of CIN is quite low even for patients at higher risk

  3. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PREVENTION OF CIN • Evaluate the risk of CIN in all patients including CKD, diabetes, • heart failure • All patients should be encouraged to drink water liberally • before the procedure • High risk patients should receive intravenous volume • expansion with isotonic saline. Sodium bicarbonate • administration is debatable. IV fluids should be continued for • at least 6 hrs after contrast exposure. N-Acetylcysteine can be considered • in high risk patients

  4. SUMMARY • IMAGING IN PATIENTS AT RISK OF CIN • Creatinine prior to CT • Adequate fluid replacement prior and • following contrast administration • Dialysis not definitively shown to be of benefit • Creatinine 48-72 hours post CT http://www.appliedradiology.com/Issues/2010/09/Articles/AR_09-10_Katzberg/Contrast-induced-nephropathy-in-2010.aspx
