We report a case of a 61-year-old woman who presented to the emergency department with high inflammatory parameters and acute renal failure. Marked enlarged kidneys with persistent nephrogram were found on contrast-enhanced computed tomography . Renal biopsy showed acute interstitial nephritis.

An iodinated contrast medium (CM) is generally excreted into the urinary tract within 3 min after administration. However, some cases present a persistent kidney nephrogram several hours after administration of CM. This phenomenon seems to be associated with the development and acceleration of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN).

Disorders of the kidney and urinary collecting system are common encountered in the acute care setting. Computed tomography has progressively replaced intravenous pyelography for the evaluation of most urinary tract pathology including acute flank pain, suspected malignancy, congenital abnormalities, anatomical variants, and inflammatory/vascular conditions through evaluation of the "nephrogram" produced by intravenous contrast material filtering through the kidneys. In this review, we describe the most common types of abnormal nephrograms seen on renal computed tomography, and highlight the salient features and conditions associated with them, in addition to a pictorial review with specific and interesting related cases.

Objective: To determine whether persistent bilateral global nephrograms are associated with acute kidney injury (AKI), dialysis, and mortality.
Patients And Methods: All patients who underwent (1) contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) or cardiac catheterization with iohexol between January 1, 2000, and December 31, 2014, and (2) noncontrast abdominal CT in the subsequent 24±6 hours were identified. Patients without preprocedure and postprocedure creatinine measurements or who received additional contrast material were excluded.

A 26-year-old Japanese man without hypouricemia and with 3 previous episodes of seizures concurrent with acute kidney injury (AKI) was admitted due to an epileptic seizure, lower back pain and AKI. His creatinine kinase levels were slightly elevated. Patchy renal ischemia on contrast-enhanced computed tomography and persistent residual contrast medium was observed, consistent with acute renal failure with severe loin pain and patchy renal ischemia after anaerobic exercise (ALPE).
