Abstract:
In this chapter, we review the approach to following the patient after contrast is administered. We first discuss the clinical importance of renal injury for if there were no clinically significant consequences of this renal injury, we would have far less concern for the adequacy of follow-up. We next look at markers of renal injury and what tests are used in clinical practice to define contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN). Finally, we discuss the steps that should be taken in those who do develop CIN to limit the impact of the injury and protect them from future adverse events.
