In this study, Campion and coworkers aimed to evaluate the incidence and the predisposing factors of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with cirrhosis undergoing contrast-enhanced CT (CECT). The authors found that the incidence of AKI was not significantly increased in patients with cirrhosis undergoing CECT. Moreover, the presence of concomitant infections was the only independent predictive factor of ICM-related AKI.
