Angiographically induced renal failure and its radiographic detection
AJR. American Journal of Roentgenology
|May 1, 1976
Summary
Renal failure after arteriography occurs in 10% of patients, particularly those with pre-existing kidney disease or severe cardiovascular issues. Early detection is crucial for high-risk individuals to prevent complications.
Area of Science:
- Nephrology
- Cardiology
- Radiology
Background:
- Arteriography can lead to decreased renal function, a complication often underestimated.
- Identifying patients at risk for post-angiography renal failure is essential to prevent adverse outcomes.
