AI Article Synopsis
- Iodinated contrast material (ICM) is essential for various radiologic exams, but its use has been limited due to fears of kidney damage and other health risks.
- Recent studies indicate that cases of acute kidney injury (AKI) previously attributed to ICM are often due to other factors or normal kidney function variability.
- This study aims to outline the latest insights on contrast-induced AKI, covering its frequency, consequences, risk factors, and ways to prevent it.
Article Abstract
Iodinated contrast material (ICM) is a critical component for many radiologic examinations and procedures. However, ICM has often been withheld in the past out of concern for its potential nephrotoxicity and increased risk of morbidity and mortality, often at the expense of diagnostic accuracy and timely diagnosis. Evidence from controlled studies now suggest that most cases of acute kidney injury (AKI) caused by ICM were instead due to contrast-independent causes of AKI or normal variation in renal function. This study will discuss current knowledge of contrast-induced AKI, including the incidence, sequelae, risk factors, and prevention strategies of this potential complication.

Background: Native and periprosthetic joint infections are devastating conditions fraught with patient morbidity and mortality. Aseptic and septic joints are often debrided and irrigated to decrease bacterial loads when preventing or treating infection. However, the effect of clinically used irrigation solutions on the native cellular components of the synovial joint is unknown.

Radiology, Thammasat University, meung, pathumtani, 12000, Thailand.
Objective: To compare iodine density (ID) and contrast-enhanced attenuation value (CEAV) from dual-layer spectral computed tomography (DLSCT) scans of lymphomatous, metastatic squamous cell carcinoma (SCCA), and normal cervical lymph nodes.
Methods: Data including ID and CEAV were retrospectively collected from patients who underwent DLSCT of the neck between January 2020 and August 2023. Results from each group (lymphomatous, metastatic SCCA, and normal) were compared and analyzed using one-way ANOVA and receiver operating characteristic curve.
