Contrast-Induced Nephropathy in Aged Critically Ill Patients

Contrast-Induced Nephropathy in Aged Critically Ill Patients

Background. Aging is associated with renal structural changes and functional decline. The attributable risk for renal dysfunction from radiocontrast agents in critically ill older patients has not been well established. Methods. In this prospective study, we assessed the incidence of contrast-induce...

Zusammenfassung:Background. Aging is associated with renal structural changes and functional decline. The attributable risk for renal dysfunction from radiocontrast agents in critically ill older patients has not been well established. Methods. In this prospective study, we assessed the incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) in critically ill patients with stable renal function who underwent computed tomography with intravenous contrast media. Patients were categorized into two age groups:
