Contrast-associated acute kidney injury – up to date 2019

Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) and later used contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) have been mentioned since the 1960s.
It is often considered the 3rd most common cause of kidney injury in hospitalized patients. We define CI-AKI as an increase in serum
creatinine of 25% or 44 μmol/l after 48–72 hours after administration of the contrast agent. Recently, however, our view of this diagnosis
has changed. We have understood various pitfalls and bias of the results of the former studies. In this article we try to summarize the
existing knowledge, describe the missing information and try to offer nephroprotective regime, which seems to be most effective.

Keywords: contrast agent, contrast induced nephropathy, contrast induced acute kidney injury, nephroprotection
