Early Acute Kidney Injury in Patients with Non-Traumatic Subarachnoid Hemorrhage who Undergo Catheter Angiography: Incidence, Associated Risk Factors and Impact on Outcome

In the aftermath of SAH, the patient is often exposed to numerous potential renal insults, including, but not limited to, the possible nephrotoxicity of contrast media used for computed tomographic angiography and catheter angiography, other insults related to this endovascular procedure, nephrotoxic medications (crystalloid-induced hyperchloremia for instance), rhabdomyolysis, dehydration, sepsis, cardiomyopathy, sedation-related hypotension, aspiration pneumonia and neurogenic pulmonary edema-related hypoxemia, and brain-kidney crosstalk.
