• Iohexol administration to a randomly selected cohort, 50-65 years old with mildly reduced eGFR, is safe and PC-AKI is very rare. • Applying the updated ESUR PC-AKI criteria resulted in fewer cases, 0.2% compared to 1.2% using the old ESUR criteria in this cohort with predominantly mild reduction of renal function. • The mean effect of CM on Scr did not exceed the intraindividual background fluctuation of Scr, regardless of potential risk factors, such as diabetes or NSAID use in our cohort of 1009 individuals.
