Purpose To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of controlled studies examining
the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) and other outcomes in patients exposed to …

Cardiac angiography and coronary/vascular interventions depend on iodinated contrast
media and consequently pose the risk of contrast-induced acute kidney injury (AKI). This is …

Study objective The study objective was to determine whether intravenous contrast
administration for computed tomography (CT) is independently associated with increased …

The platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) is an integrated reflection of 2 opposite thrombotic/
inflammatory pathways that are easily calculated from a complete blood count. The PLR …

Objectives: This study sought to determine if in addition to standard preventive measures on-
admission, high-dose rosuvastatin exerts a protective effect against contrast-induced acute …

We hypothesized that neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is an early
predictive biomarker of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN). We prospectively enrolled 91 …

In order to make appropriate decisions about clinical management, it is important for
physicians to be able to stratify patients according to their risk for contrast-induced …

Background—The temporal evolution of renal function in patients with acute kidney injury
after contrast medium (CI-AKI) is not well known. The aim of this observational study was to …

Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is a serious complication of angiographic procedures
resulting from the administration of contrast media (CM). It is the third most common cause of …

Cardiac surgery associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) is a significant clinical problem. Its
