Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is a relatively common cause of acute renal insufficiency in the hospital milieu. It has been associated with a considerable increase in morbidity and mortality, as well as in the length of hospital stay. Clearly, many factors are involved in the pathophisiology of this complication, whose understanding is far from complete; therefore, there is still a lack of specific and effective prophylactic agents. In this article we review the epidemiology and pathogenesis of CIN, as well as the risk factors and preventive strategies.
