Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to determine the most effective intravenous volume expansion method to prevent contrast-associated acute kidney injury (CA-AKI) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) undergoing cardiovascular procedures.
- - Analyzed data from 1927 CKD patients revealed that CA-AKI occurred in 11% of cases, with those affected receiving less volume expansion and experiencing higher rates of acute pulmonary edema.
- - Findings suggest that to prevent CA-AKI, an absolute volume expansion of at least 1430 mL and a volume-to-contrast media ratio of 17 or greater should be considered, warranting further testing in future trials.
