Contrast-induced acute kidney injury, previously known as contrast-induced nephropathy, is an important complication in the catheterization laboratory. The definition of contrast-induced acute kidney injury should be harmonized with the Kidney Disease International Global Outcomes criteria which calls for >=0.3 mg/dl (26.5 micromol/L) rise in serum creatinine within 48 hours of contrast exposure. If there is a sustained reduction in estimated glomerular function from a baseline above 60 to a new baseline below 60 ml/min/1.73 m2 at 90 days after the procedure, then a definition of chronic kidney disease (Stage 3) would be met as a late outcome of this complication.
