Zusammenfassung
Ziele: Contrast-induced nephropathy is one of the most common causes of in-hospital acute renal failure. In case of suspected brain ischemia, CT perfusion imaging allows to rapidly depict the salvageable tissue at risk. The aim of this study was to assess the risk of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) after repeated administration of the dimeric, iso-osmolal contrast agent iodixanol for cerebral perfusion CT regardless of preexisting renal function. Changes in serum creatinine (SCr) are compared to a control group that did not receive iodinated contrast media. Methode: Between January 2005 and March 2007, 100 co…
