Abstract

The use of iodine-based contrast agents may lead to nephropathy, and patients with underlying chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at increased risk for this complication. In a recent study of patients with stroke who underwent CTA followed by cerebral angiography, 9.5% of patients developed postcontrast acute kidney injury.1 The purpose of this study was to assess the risk of postcontrast acute kidney injury in patients with GI bleeding undergoing CTA followed by visceral angiography within 24 hours.
