Risk Factors for Contrast-Induced Nephrotoxicity Debated
Conflicting with current belief, a new study finds that patients with a history of diabetes are not one of the most at risk for contrast-induced nephrotoxicity. Instead, the study revealed that patients with a history of renal disease, hypertension, and/or heart disease are more likely to suffer from renal insufficiency, putting them at greater risk for contrast-induced nephrotoxicity.
