Incidence of Acute Kidney Injury After Administration of Iodine Contrast Media in Patients With Reduced Renal Function

Sponsor: Uppsala University

Summary

This study is examining if injection of iodine contrast media increases the risk of acute kidney injury in patients with severely reduced renal function. All patients who have a medical need for a computerized tomography, either with or without iodine contrast media, and has a renal function of less than estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) 30 will be recruited. Blood and urine samples will be collected at baseline, three and 21 days after the computerized tomography. Additionally, we will examine if the decision to use iodine contrast media or not was easy or difficult if the use of iodine contrast media potentially changed the patient care and if it might have been lifesaving.
