Contrast induced-acute kidney injury following peripheral angiography with carbon dioxide versus iodinated contrast media: A meta-analysis and systematic review of current literature.

Objective: We conducted a meta-analysis to compare the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) with carbon dioxide (CO ) versus iodinated contrast media (ICM).

Background: Contrast induced-acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is a known complication following endovascular procedures with ICM. CO has been employed as an alternative imaging medium as it is nontoxic to the kidneys.

Acute kidney injury following peripheral angiography and endovascular therapy: A systematic review of the literature.

Introduction: Radiographic contrast administration is a major cause of acute kidney injury (AKI), worldwide. Currently, contrast induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is the third leading cause of hospital acquired renal failure in the United States. Over 50% of these cases are the result of contrast exposure during cardiac catheterization.
