AbstractAs the numbers of interventional procedures are rising exponentially, identification of those patients at risk for renal complications has become even more important. Renal complications have been associated with increased morbidity and mortality after interventions. Risk factors have been studied to help identify those patients at increased risk for developing contrast-induced nephropathy. Hydration and medications have been studied as protective measures to decrease risk of renal complications. Preconditioning patients with intravenous hydration has been found to be the most helpful in circumventing postprocedural contrast-induced nephropathy.Copyright © 2014 Elsevier Inc.
