Abstract
Introduction: Constrast-induced nephropathy is defined as a renal damage of variable degree which develops after exposition to radiocontrast agents. There is a number of defined risk factors that may predispose the patient to develop such complication, although most data used on Colombian clinical practice is extrapolated from foreign studies.
Methods: The following is a clinical series study comprising a simple of 85 patients who underwent a contrasted axial tomography at the Clinica Universitaria Bolivariana’s Diagnostic Images Center.
Results: The mean age in the series was 55±19 years, with an average serum creatinine value of 0.92± 0.53mg/dL. It was found that 70.58% of all patients undergoing such image procedure had at least one risk factor for contrast-induced nephropathy.
Conclusion: There is a very high prevalence of risk factors for contrastinduced nephropathy among our patients.
