Safe Limits of Contrast Media for Contrast-Induced Nephropathy: A Multicenter Prospective Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT: Background: The safe level of contrast media volume (CV) is an important modifiable risk factor for contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN). The safe limit of CV remains unclear and is limited to single-center studies. Our objective was to determine the association between the ratio of contrast volume-to-glomerular filtration (CV/GFR) and CIN in patients undergoing coronary angiography (CAG) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: We assessed the association between CV/GFR and the risk of CIN in 4,254 patients undergoing CAG or PCI from the year 2013 to 2016 and enrolled in the REICIN (REduction of rIsk for Contrast-Induced Nephropathy), a prospective, multicenter, observational cohort study. CV/GFR was calculated at the five primary GFR equation. Results: Six
