What is Contrast-Induced Nephropathy: In Interventional Cardiovascular Medicine about?

Contrast nephropathy is a major and growing problem. It is the third most common cause of in-hospital acute renal failure and is associated with significant in-hospital mortality (20-30%, rising up to 62% for patients requiring emergency hemodialysis), long term mortality, increased risk of in-hospital major adverse cardiac events as well as with prolonged hospital stay and increased costs of health care. The incidence of contrast nephropathy is growing with the increasing use of radiographic contrast media for a variety of invasive procedures to diagnose and treat atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and the increasing number of elderly patients, diabetics and patients with pre-existing renal failure. The interest in this previously under-recognized problem is growing as well. Thus, a book on this subject will find many interested readers among not only the interventional cardiologists but also other professionals involved in the care
