Contrast-induced nephropathy
ID: contrast-induced-nephropathy
Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is a form of acute kidney injury that occurs after the administration of contrast media, typically used in imaging procedures such as computed tomography (CT) scans, angiography, or other diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. CIN is characterized by an increase in serum creatinine levels after the exposure to contrast agents, usually occurring within 48 hours of the procedure.
