Epidemiology and Demographics
Decline in renal function remains a common event despite the improvement in the care of hospitalized patients. Contrast media are responsible for 11% of cases of hospital-acquired renal insufficiency, the third most common cause of renal failure after impaired renal perfusion and the use of nephrotoxic medications. The overall mortality rate was 19.4% and was similar among patients for all causes of renal insufficiency, except sepsis. [1]
