Negligible Risk of Acute Renal Failure Among Hospitalized Patients After Contrast-Enhanced Imaging With Iodinated Versus Gadolinium-Based Agents

Abstract

With the current precautions undertaken, the real-life risk of PC-AKI among inpatients undergoing CT is insignificant. Possible reasons for the diverse impact of blood pressure on the propensity to develop acute kidney failure after iodine-based but not gadolinium-based enhancement imaging are discussed.
