RESUMEN
La nefropatía inducida por medios de contraste radiológico yodados (NIACR) es una causa relativamente común de insuficiencia renal aguda en el medio hospitalario, asociada a un aumento considerable en la morbilidad y la mortalidad secundarias. La comprensión de su fisiopatología multifactorial, es aún incipiente, por lo que se carece de agentes profilácticos específicos y efectivos. La única medida preventiva aceptada mundialmente es la hidratación con solución salina pero se están estudiando para ese propósito otros compuestos. En este artículo se revisan la epidemiología y patogénesis de la NIACR, así como los factores de riesgo y las estrategias de prevención.
ABSTRACT
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 andmortality, 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.
