IntroductionInterventional procedures often use iodinated contrast media (ICM) to visualize the area of interest. However, the use of ICM can cause contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN), which is a frequent complication after catheterization and is associated with morbidity and mortality. CIN is also a common complication in patients with pre-existing chronic kidney disease, diabetes, and heart failure. The purpose of this analysis was to compare carbon dioxide (CO2) with conventional contrast agents.MethodsTo assess the clinical effectiveness of CO2 in preventing CIN, a systematic review of relevant literature, including international guidelines, from the Medline database was conducted. Imaging of the chest, aorta, coronary arteries, and cerebral circulation with CO2 is limited, so effectiveness was determined in the field of renal and peripheral artery angioplasty. The effect on intervention cost was the main outcome.ResultsUse of CO2 generally reduced renal toxicity and anaphylactic reaction, but the benefits remain controversial. Angiography with CO2 is reasonable when image accuracy is not crucial due to its low informative value. Strategies for preventing acute kidney injury demonstrated the effectiveness of sodium chloride administration before and after the procedure. Additionally, the absence of risk factors for kidney disease significantly reduced the risk of impaired renal function.ConclusionsAlthough CO2 is one of the alternative methods for visualization, it is not pivotal in preventing CIN, even though the manufacturers recommend CO2 as the preferred contrast agent in patients with renal insufficiency who are allergic to ICM. The economic indicators for the use of CO2 are similar to traditional visualization methods.

Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is an important complication following diagnostic radiographic imaging and interventional therapy. It results from administration of intravascular iodinated contrast media (CM) and is currently the third most common cause of hospital-acquired acute kidney injury. CIN is associated with increased morbidity, prolonged hospitalization, and higher mortality. Although the importance of CIN is widely appreciated, and its occurrence can be mitigated by the use of pre- and posthydration protocols and low osmolar instead of high osmolar iodine-containing CM, specific prophylactic therapy is lacking. Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC), induced through short cycles of ischemia-reperfusion applied to the limb, is an intriguing new strategy that has been shown to reduce myocardial infarction size in patients undergoing emergency percutaneous coronary intervention. Furthermore, multiple proof-of-principle clinical studies have suggested benefit in several other ischemia-reperfusion syndromes, including stroke. Perhaps somewhat surprisingly, RIPC also is emerging as a promising strategy for CIN prevention. In this review, we discuss current clinical and experimental developments regarding the biology of CIN, concentrating on the pathophysiology of CIN, and cellular and molecular mechanisms by which limb ischemic preconditioning may confer renal protection in clinical and experimental models of CIN.

Post-contrast acute kidney injury (PC-AKI) is one of the side effects of iodinated contrast media, including those used in computed tomography. Its incidence seems exaggerated, and thus we decided to try estimate that number and investigate its significance in our clinical practice. We analyzed all computed tomographies performed in our clinic in 2019, including data about the patient and the procedure. In each case, we recorded the parameters of kidney function (serum creatinine concentration and eGFR) in four time intervals: before the test, immediately after the test, 14–28 days after the test, and over 28 days after the test. Patients who did not have a follow-up after computed tomography were excluded. After reviewing 706 CT scans performed in 2019, we included 284 patients undergoing contrast-enhanced CT and 67 non-enhanced CT in the final analysis. On this basis, we created two comparable groups in terms of age, gender, the severity of chronic kidney disease, and the number of comorbidities. We found that AKI was more common in the non-enhanced CT population (25.4% vs. 17.9%). In terms of our experience, it seems that PC-AKI is not a great risk for patients, even those with chronic kidney disease. Consequently, the fear of using contrast agents is not justified.

Abstract Background Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is a common cause of acute kidney injury (AKI), and can be diagnosed when the etiology of AKI is unclear other than via a contrast agent. Fluorescent angiography (FAG) with fluorescein sodium dye is generally considered to be safe for patients with kidney diseases. However, it remains unresolved whether or not FAG can induce CIN. Methods Patients from two tertiary hospitals who underwent FAG and had serum creatinine results within 4 weeks before FAG and 3 days after FAG between 2001 and 2017 were retrieved. Cases with concurrent iodinated contrast imaging or undergoing dialysis were excluded from the analysis. CIN was defined by two criteria: CIN criteria as >0.5 mg/dL or >25% increase in serum creatinine (sCr) level within 3 days after FAG, and contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CIAKI) criteria as ≥0.3 mg/dL increase within 2 days or ≥50% increase within 7 days after FAG. Results A total of 979 patients were screened, and we found 124 patients with AKI after FAG. After excluding 32 patients with clear causes of AKI other than FAG, the incidence rates of CIN were 7.3% by CIN criteria and 6.4% by CIAKI criteria. CIN incidence had a U-shaped distribution according to chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages in CIN criteria, while linear association between CIN incidence and CKD stages were found in CIAKI criteria. Kaplan–Meier curves showed the CIN group was significantly associated with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) progression (log-rank P < 0.001, in both CIN criteria and CIAKI criteria), and adjusted hazard ratios by multivariable Cox regression were 2.23 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.468–3.378] in CIN criteria and 2.17 (95% CI 1.462–3.232) in CIAKI criteria. Conclusions According to CIN and CIAKI criteria, FAG may cause CIN and appeared to be a possible risk factor for ESRD progression. However, CIN or CIAKI criteria themselves may overestimate AKI and require meticulous attention to the interpretation of results.
