Estimated Urinary Flow Rate and Contrast-Associated Acute Kidney Injury Risk: The PRESERVE (Prevention of Serious Adverse Events Following Angiography) Trial

Year: 2021

Type: article

Abstract: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common clinical syndrome diagnosed in >20% of hospitalizations, and the administration of iodinated contrast is a common cause.1,2 Contrast-associated AKI (CA-AKI) is marked by an abrupt decline in kidney function, typically occurring 2 to 5 days after administration of contrast, especially among those with risk factors for AKI such as older age, chronic kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes mellitus. Identifying patients who are at increased risk for CA-AKI and instituting preventive measures is extremely important.
