===Pre-existing renal disease===
Pre-existing renal disease with an elevated level of serum creatinine considered to be the most crucial risk factor in the development of CIN.  The incidence of CIN in patients with underlying chronic kidney disease is extremely high, ranging from 14.8 to 55%<ref name="pmid12010907">{{cite journal| author=Rihal CS, Textor SC, Grill DE, Berger PB, Ting HH, Best PJ et al.| title=Incidence and prognostic importance of acute renal failure after percutaneous coronary intervention. | journal=Circulation | year= 2002 | volume= 105 | issue= 19 | pages= 2259-64 | pmid=12010907 | doi= | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=12010907  }} </ref> <ref name="pmid9375704">{{cite journal| author=McCullough PA, Wolyn R, Rocher LL, Levin RN, O'Neill WW| title=Acute renal failure after coronary intervention: incidence, risk factors, and relationship to mortality. | journal=Am J Med | year= 1997 | volume= 103 | issue= 5 | pages= 368-75 | pmid=9375704 | doi= | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=9375704  }} </ref> <ref name="pmid11285590">{{cite journal| author=Gruberg L, Mehran R, Dangas G, Mintz GS, Waksman R, Kent KM et al.| title=Acute renal failure requiring dialysis after percutaneous coronary interventions. | journal=Catheter Cardiovasc Interv | year= 2001 | volume= 52 | issue= 4 | pages= 409-16 | pmid=11285590 | doi=10.1002/ccd.1093 | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=11285590  }} </ref>

Although baseline creatinine is not reliable enough for identification of patients at risk for CIN, this is because serum creatinine value varies with age, muscle mass, and gender, one of the studies shown that the higher the baseline creatinine value, the greater is the risk of CIN.

===Diabetes mellitus===
Due to high prevalence of diabetes in the general population, and the ability of the disease to cause a broad spectrum of cardiovascular diseases that require radiological procedures using CM, diabetic patients represent a significant proportion of those undergoing contrast exposure with incidence of CIN varies from 5.7 to 29.4%.<ref name="pmid15276092">{{cite journal| author=Nikolsky E, Mehran R, Turcot D, Aymong ED, Mintz GS, Lasic Z et al.| title=Impact of chronic kidney disease on prognosis of patients with diabetes mellitus treated with percutaneous coronary intervention. | journal=Am J Cardiol | year= 2004 | volume= 94 | issue= 3 | pages= 300-5 | pmid=15276092 | doi=10.1016/j.amjcard.2004.04.023 | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=15276092  }} </ref>  The rates of CIN are usually comparable to those of a non-diabetic population in diabetics patients with preserved renal function.<ref name="pmid9169676">{{cite journal| author=Lasser EC, Lyon SG, Berry CC| title=Reports on contrast media reactions: analysis of data from reports to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. | journal=Radiology | year= 1997 | volume= 203 | issue= 3 | pages= 605-10 | pmid=9169676 | doi= | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=9169676  }} </ref>

Overview

Four factors have been associated with an increased risk of contrast-induced nephropathy: pre-existing renal insufficiency, pre-existing diabetes, age, Volume of CM, and reduced intravascular volume.[1][2] A clinical prediction rule is available to estimate probability of nephropathy (increase ≥25% and/or ≥0.5 mg/dl in serum creatinine at 48 h)[3]

Risk Factors:

Pre-existing renal disease

Pre-existing renal disease with an elevated level of serum creatinine considered to be the most crucial risk factor in the development of CIN. The incidence of CIN in patients with underlying chronic kidney disease is extremely high, ranging from 14.8 to 55%[4] [1] [5] In one study, CIN occurred in one-third of 439 consecutive patients who underwent PCI despite pre-procedure hydration and the use of non-ionic CM.[5]

Although baseline creatinine is not reliable enough for identification of patients at risk for CIN, this is because serum creatinine value varies with age, muscle mass, and gender, one of the studies shown that the higher the baseline creatinine value, the greater is the risk of CIN.

If baseline plasma creatinine level is less than or equal to 1.2 mg/dl, the risk of CIN is only 2%
Values of creatinine in the range of 1.4–1.9 mg/dl, the risk of CIN compared with that in the previous group increases fivefold (10.4%)
Patients with baseline creatinine level more than 2.0 mg/dl, more than half of them (62%) subsequently develop CIN.[6]

Diabetes mellitus

Due to high prevalence of diabetes in the general population, and the ability of the disease to cause a broad spectrum of cardiovascular diseases that require radiological procedures using CM, diabetic patients represent a significant proportion of those undergoing contrast exposure with incidence of CIN varies from 5.7 to 29.4%.[7] The rates of CIN are usually comparable to those of a non-diabetic population in diabetics patients with preserved renal function.[8]

Age

The reasons for higher risk to develop CIN in elderly were not studied specifically and probably are multifactorial, including age-related changes in renal function (diminished glomerular filtration rate, tubular secretion, and concentrating ability). Several studies proved that older age is an independent predictor of CIN.[9] [10]

Volume of Contrast Media

The correlation between the amount of CM and the risk of CIN is well documented,[1] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] Most of the studies indicate that the higher volume of CM have a great damaging effect in the presence of other risk factors, even relatively low doses of contrast (less than 100 ml) can induce permanent renal failure and the need for dialysis in patients with chronic kidney disease.

Anemia and procedure-related blood loss

Anemia might be one of the factors contributing to renal ischemia, in a study based on interventional cardiology database analysis, it showed a steadily increased rates of CIN as pre-procedure hematocrit decreased.[15]

Other risk factors

Advanced congestive heart failure, compromised left ventricle systolic performance, dehydration, hypotension, the use of several drugs (angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, diuretics, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) were also recognized as prognostic factors of CIN.[16] [17]
