The risk of contrast-induced acute kidney injury is extremely low among patients with normal or minimally impaired kidney function at baseline.
Is it true that the risk of contrast-induced acute kidney injury is extremely low among patients with normal or minimally impaired kidney function at baseline?
Yes. Evidence consistently shows that the risk of contrast-induced acute kidney injury is very low in patients with normal or minimally impaired baseline renal function, while pre-existing chronic kidney disease is a major risk factor.
Verdict: SUPPORTED · 3 sources for, 0 against · Last checked
The retrieved literature consistently supports the clinical consensus that baseline renal function is one of the most critical determinants of contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI). Papers such as [1], [3], and [6] show that normal or higher eGFR is associated with significantly lower risk, whereas baseline chronic kidney disease and comorbidities drastically increase the likelihood of nephropathy. No papers refute the claim that the risk is extremely low specifically in those with normal or minimally impaired function.
