Excerpt

The intravascular administration of iodinated contrast media has been a recognized etiology of acute kidney injury (AKI) for decades [1]. Recent studies have questioned the causal association of iodinated contrast administration with acute impairment in kidney function [2‐7]. Review of specific lines of past scientific inquiry on contrast administration and AKI and critical analysis of recent research questioning this association demonstrates that contrast-associated AKI (CA-AKI) is not a myth. …
