Abstract:
The use of diagnostic techniques with iodinated contrast media represents a regular medical practice. Contrast induced nephropathy is a rare complication in the general population but it has an important prevalence and morbidity in selective groups of patients. Its multifactorial pathogenesis has not yet been totally determined. Identification of high-risk patients and early application of suitable preventive measures is crucial. The following article summarizes the most important aspects of this entity and the possibilities for its prevention.
