| pubmed-article:17565276 | pubmed:abstractText | Although contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is common and portends a significant morbidity and mortality, only few large and well designed trials have assessed the available prophylactic measures and there are no clear evidence-based guidelines that can easily be adopted by the clinician. We critically discuss the evidence for periprocedural hydration, pharmacological agents, periprocedural withdrawal of medication, application of renal replacement therapy and the use of contrast media. | lld:pubmed |
