Objectives
At the end of this talk, the listener will
• Identify patients who are at high risk of contrast
nephropathy
• Know what to order to minimize risk of
contrast nephropathy
4. CAMRT joint Congress May 2015
What is Contrast
Nephropathy*?
*Now known as
Contrast-induced
Acute Kidney Injury
Following Contrast
exposure:
Arterial (cardiac cath,
arteriograms)
Venous (CT Scans)
5. CAMRT joint Congress May 2015
What is Contrast
Nephropathy*?
• Acute Kidney Injury,
defined as:
• Rise in creatinine of
25%
• Rise in creatinine of
44 micromol/L
• A much smaller
proportion: Dialysis
or Death
*Now known as
Contrast-induced
Acute Kidney Injury
Following Contrast
exposure:
Arterial (cardiac cath,
arteriograms)
Venous (CT Scans)

Others
• If hydration helps, so will stopping diuretics
• Potentially nephrotoxic medications: NSAIDs,
others
• RAS Blockade? (ACE inhibitors,Angiotensin
receptor blockers, renin inhibitors,
spironolactone)
• Statins

Metformin and Contrast?
• Metformin is NOT nephrotoxic;
phenformin, its predecessor was banned
for causing lactic acidosis. Case reports
exist with metformin as well

‘ The legacy of phenformin, anecdotes,
scattered case reports, product inserts
and medicolegal anxieties are more at
the heart of this issue than scientific
fact’ - Gerald Pond, Radiology, 2001

Summary
• Contrast procedures have become safer with
time
89. CAMRT joint Congress May 2015
Summary
• Contrast procedures have become safer with
time
• IV (eg CT scans) contrast is considerably less
harmful than IA contrast (eg cardiac cath)
90. CAMRT joint Congress May 2015
Summary
• Contrast procedures have become safer with
time
• IV (eg CT scans) contrast is considerably less
harmful than IA contrast (eg cardiac cath)
• CKD stage 4 & 5 (GFR < 30) might still be at risk
of AKI with CT Scans
91. CAMRT joint Congress May 2015
Summary
• Contrast procedures have become safer with
time
• IV (eg CT scans) contrast is considerably less
harmful than IA contrast (eg cardiac cath)
• CKD stage 4 & 5 (GFR < 30) might still be at risk
of AKI with CT Scans
• Most prophylactic measures (bicarb, NAC,
dialysis) don’t work; except for volume expansion
