Acute kidney injury after Contrast Computed Tomography

Abstract

This literature review explores the current evidence on acute kidney injury (AKI) following contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT). By examining a range of studies, the review identifies key rick factors, pathogenic mechanisms, and preventive strategies related to contrast-induced acute kidney injury. The analysis highlights trend in AKI incidence, indicating that current rates are lower than those reported in the past studies. The review concludes by potential treatment methods and underscores areas that require further research.
