Risk factors for contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI): protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Identifying the patients who are at risk for contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI), which is defined as an increase in serum creatinine after exposure to contrast media, is a critical step in targeted prevention strategies.
