Abstract Purpose The Contrast Media Safety Committee (CMSC) of the European Society of
Urogenital Radiology (ESUR) has updated its 1999 guidelines on contrast medium-induced …

Objective: Acute kidney injury is common in critically ill patients and is associated with
significant morbidity and mortality. Patients across the spectrum of critical illness have acute …

OBJECTIVE. Most studies of contrast-induced nephropathy lack controls to distinguish it
from nephropathy from other causes. We assessed the frequency and magnitude of serum …

Objective: Acute kidney injury affects 5% to 7% of all hospitalized patients with a much
higher incidence in the critically ill. The Acute Kidney Injury Network proposed a definition in …

Background Acute renal failure on the intensive care unit is associated with significant
mortality and morbidity. Objectives To determine recommendations for the prevention of …

Background Meta-analyses of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) for preventing contrast-induced
nephrotoxicity (CIN) have led to disparate conclusions. Here we examine and attempt to …

INTRODUCTION: Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) has been extensively studied in the
ward but only scarcely in intensive care unit (ICU) patients, even if they may be particularly …

The present work aimed to prove the usage of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin
(NGAL) as an early biomarker for kidney injury and to assess the relationship between …

Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is the third most common cause of acute kidney injury
in hospitalized patients. Diagnostic and interventional cardiovascular procedures generate …

Purpose Intensive care unit (ICU) patients frequently undergo contrast-enhanced
radiographic examinations, which carries a risk for development of contrast-associated …
