Background

  • Often defined as creatinine rise of more than 0.5 mg/dL or ≥25% above baseline[1]
  • 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
  • Less likely to occur with low and iso-osmolar contrast agents

Healthy Patients

  • CIN not likely to occur in patients with a Cr<1.5 or a GFR >60ml/min[2][3]

Impaired Renal Function

  • Administration should follow your local hospital protocols
  • Less likely to occur in iso-osmolar contrast agents (iodixanol/Visipaque) and possibly not even an occurrence if the serum creatinine is greater than 2.0 mg/dL. [4]

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

Management

Hydration

  • Isotonic hydration with Normal Saline 1-1.5L (15ml/kg) prior to the contrast load in patients with impaired renal function [5][6]

N-acetylcysteine

  • Is not useful for preventing CIN[7]
