Revision as of 21:24, 10 June 2014

Background

  • Vasoconstriction leading to ischemia in the deeper portion of the outer medulla
  • Toxic to kidney tubular cells, inducing vacuolization, change in mitochondrial function, and apoptosis

Clinical Features

  • 0.5mg/dl absolute or >25% relative increase in serum creatinine 48-72hrs after contrast exposure

Differential Diagnosis

  • Poor renal perfusion
  • Nephrotoxic medications

Workup

  • Same for AKI

Management

  • Hydration
  • N-acetylcysteine
