Severe Contrast-Induced Nephropathy Leading to Dialysis Occurring in a Patient with Near-Normal Baseline Creatinine Undergoing CT Angiography Using Intravenous Contrast Only

Int J Angiol DOI: 10.1055/s-0041-1741471Contrast-induced nephropathy can be a major health issue in patients undergoing iodinated contrast exposure. Recently a published paper misleadingly suggested that intravenous administration of iodinated contrast is not a significant cause of contrast-induced nephropathy. This contrasts with previous studies and clinical observations of numerous contrast-induced nephropathy cases occurring in the setting of intravenous contrast exposure. A severe cause of contrast-induced nephropathy is presented occurring in a patient with near-normal creatinine receiving intravenous contrast only leading to dialysis and near death.
