Other terms suggested, which remove implied causality of contrast in AKI
Postcontrast AKI (PC-AKI)
Contrast-associated AKI (CA-AKI)
Definitions
CIN: Sudden deterioration in renal function caused by intravascular administration of iodinated contrast medium
Causative diagnosis
Subset of PC-AKI patients
Differentiation of CIN from PC-AKI incidence requires appropriate control group in studies (rarely performed in available literature)
AKI: One of following occurs within < 48 hours after nephrotoxic event (Acute Kidney Injury Network criteria)
Absolute serum creatine increase ≥ 0.3 mg/dL
Increase in serum creatinine ≥ 50%
Urine output ≤ 0.6 mL/kg/hour for at least 6 hours
PC-AKI: Sudden deterioration of renal function occurring < 48 hours following IV administration of iodinated contrast medium
