[Contrast-induced nephropathy after cardiac catheterization: a prospective study of 180 patients].

Background: Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is associated with an increased cardiovascular morbi-mortality. Little is known about the incidence and risk factors of CIN after cardiac catheterization in Tunisian patients.

Aim: To determine the incidence of CIN and its predictors after coronary angiography as well as its prognostic and therapeutic repercussions in a Tunisian patients' cohort.
