Acute Kidney Injury After Repeated Exposure to Contrast Material for Coronary Angiography.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To assess the incidence of contrast-associated acute kidney injury (CAAKI) after repeated exposure to contrast material for computed tomography (CT) and conventional coronary angiography within short intervals.

Methods

We studied 651 patients enrolled in the CorE-64 (November 5, 2005-January 30, 2007) and CORE320 (October 21, 2009-August 17, 2011) multicenter studies. Participants with suspected obstructive coronary heart disease were referred for diagnostic cardiac catheterization and underwent coronary CT angiography for research before invasive angiography. Nonionic, low-osmolality iodinated contrast material was used for all imaging.

Results

The median age of the patients was 62 years, and 190 (29%) were women. Major risk factors for acute kidney injury
