Abstract
TIRADO CASTRO, Maickol Jhoel; CATANO VARGAS, Liliana Rocío and PRIETO ALVARADO, Franklyn Edwin. Factors associated with contrast-induced nephropathy in hospitalized patients who underwent computed tomography. Rev. colom. nefrol. [online]. 2018, vol.5, n.2, pp.118-126. ISSN 2500-5006. https://doi.org/10.22265/acnef.0.0.303.
Introduction:
Contrast-induced Nephropathy is the third most common cause of acute renal failure in patients. It has been observed in several studies that an important factor is the usage of a contrast given via IV and the angiograms. Our goal is to identify the factors associated to a Contrast-induced Nephropathy in patients who had a computarized axial tomography through an iodine contrast in a health institution of high complexity in Neiva, Colombia during 2016.
Material and methods:
A cased study and no-matched tests were applied in 108 patients (36 cases and 76 tests), who had a computarized axial dianostic or therapeutic tomography through an iodine radiological contrast.
Results:
The factors associated to contrast-induced Nephropathy, through a contrast dye, found in patients who had a CAT were the gender (male) (OR=3, 22; CI=95 % 1, 33 - 7,76; p=0,009) and the place where the procedure was made (hospitalization in general wards) (OR=0,26; CI=95 % 0,07 - 1,00; p=0,051).
Keywords : Acute kidney injury; computed tomograpy; contrast media; risk factors.
