Contrast-induced nephropathy

Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is the most common cause of iatrogenic acute renal failure (ARF), and, most of all, its frequency will increase as the result of wide use of radiographic contrast agents (CA) in urology, interventional cardiology and angiology. The acute kidney injury (AKI) results in increased length of hospitalization, the cost of treatment, development of chronic renal failure and increased mortality. The article gives detailed analysis of the factors of CA safety and risk factors for AKI. Authors present own observations of CIN case in patient with primary hyperparathyroidism. Understanding of the risk factors for CIN in certain categories of patients allows to prevent the iatrogenic complications retaining highly informativeness of study.
