Contrast-induced nephropathy
Contrast associated nephropathy (CAN) refers to a sudden decrease in renal function caused by contrast agents. Commonly used contrast agents are generally hyperosmotic, containing up to 37% iodine. They are filtered unchanged by the glomerulus in the body and are not absorbed by the renal tubules. When dehydrated, the concentration of the drug in the kidney increases, which can cause kidney damage and acute renal failure.
