Association Between Acute Kidney Disease and Intravenous Dye Administration in Patients With Acute Stroke [Clinical Sciences]
Conclusions—Although 22% of patients in the Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky stroke population had unsuspected kidney disease, the incidence of new or worsening kidney disease was low, and AKI was not associated with dye administration. These findings confirm single-center reports that the risk of severe renal complications after contrast dye is small.
