Background: Recent studies have challenged the reported causal association between acute kidney injury and iodinated contrast administration, ascribing some cases to changes in renal function that are independent of contrast administration.
Methods: We studied 1779 consecutive patients undergoing right heart catheterization (RHC) at a Veterans Administration Medical Center. We compared the incidence of acute kidney injury and of nephropathy at 3 months in veterans undergoing right and left heart catheterization and coronary angiography (R&LHC) to the incidence of acute kidney injury and of nephropathy at 3 months in patients undergoing RHC only.
