Reply to: “The impact of infections on the onset of contrast-associated acute kidney injury in patients with cirrhosis”

We thank Tergast et  al. for taking inspiration from our recently issued manuscript about the risk of contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) in patients with cirrhosis1 in order to re-analyse their previously published data.2 Tergast et al.2 previously analysed a large retrospective cohort of patients with dec ompensated cirrhosis and ascites, suggesting that contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) is not associated with an increased risk of AKI. They now reviewed their data to assess the impact of concomitant infections on the risk of CI-AKI.
