Overview
Contrast media are widely used in diagnostic and interventional procedures with rising incidence of iatrogenic renal function impairment caused by the exposure to contrast media, a condition known as Contrast-induced nephropathy(CIN). Contrast-induced nephropathy is defined as either a greater than 25% increase of serum creatinine or an absolute increase in serum creatinine of 0.5 mg/dL that occur soon after intravenous contrast administration.[1] It is generally a reversible form of acute kidney injury that occurs soon after the administration of radiocontrast media
