Abstract

Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is a common cause of acute kidney dysfunction. It is necessary to identify at-risk patients at early stages to implement preventive strategies to decrease the incidence of this nephropathy. However, mechanisms of CIN have not fully explained yet. Most predictive models for contrast-induced nephropathy in clinical use have modest ability and are only relevant to patients receiving contrast for coronary angiography. Further research is needed to develop models that can better inform patient-centred decision making, as well as improve the use of prevention strategies for contrast-induced nephropathy.
