Contrast-associated acute kidney injury (CA-AKI) is an impairment of renal function, which occurs within days of intravascular administration of iodinated contrast media. Taking into account that minimally invasive cardiac interventions are becoming increasingly popular, compared to traditional surgery, given their impact on prognosis and costs, CA-AKI remains a subject of increasing interest for patients and physicians. This review summarizes the epidemiology and risk stratification, diagnostic criteria, pathophysiology and clinical implications of CA-AKI, providing evidence for the most studied preventive strategies.
