Nephrotoxin Microinjection in Zebrafish to Model Acute Kidney Injury
Published on: July 17, 2016
Abstract:
Iodinated contrast agents used in computed tomography (CT) examinations have the potential to cause adverse reactions in patients. The possibility of acute kidney injury should be of concern to radiologic technologists performing CT examinations. Although prevention is paramount, identifying and treating contrast-induced nephropathy, for example, as well as following appropriate guidelines regarding the handling and usage of contrast material, are crucial. This article discusses recent research in these areas.
