Acute kidney injury following iodinated contrast — a preventable complication of imaging.
CIN risk rises with eGFR < 30, diabetes, dehydration, and repeated dosing. Prevention: hydration, minimal contrast volume, avoiding NSAIDs, and using iso-osmolar agents. The term has largely shifted to 'post-contrast AKI' — causation is debated. eGFR checks before contrast in at-risk patients are standard.
A sudden drop in kidney function over hours to days - reversible if caught early, but a major risk factor for chronic kidney disease.
A calculated value estimating the rate at which kidneys filter blood, used to diagnose and stage chronic kidney disease.
