Contrast induced acute kidney injury is an iatrogenic renal injury that follows intravascular administration of radioopaque contrast media (CM) in susceptible individuals. Contrast-induced acute kidney injury is the third most common cause for acute kidney injury (AKI) in hospitalized patients. The machanisms described were vasoconstriction and medullary hypoxia, direct tubular toxicity and generation of reactive oxygen species. We report our experience with contrast induced acute kidney injury in patients undergoing coronary and peripheral angiogram at our centre.
