Abstract
Contrast Induced Nephropathy (CIN) is commonly defined as acute renal failure occurring within 48 hours of exposure to intravenous radiographic contrast that is not attributable to other causes. [1] It is the third most common cause of hospital-acquired acute renal failure, after surgery and hypotension. [2] In most cases it is preventable with sufficient fluid administration, however an irreversible damage to the kidney might occur.
