ABSTRACT

Objective. Compare changes in renal function in hospitalized patients exposed to intravenous contrast medium with changes in renal function in unexposed patients.
Material and methods. A retrospective cohort study was conducted analyzing changes in serum creatinine values in patients before wand after administration of contrast medium compared with similar patients who were not exposed to contrast medium.
Results. Thirty-three patients with exposure to intravenous contrast were monitored, of whom only two (6%) presented alteration of renal function. Also, 65 patients not exposed to intravenous contrast were monitored, of whom 11 (16%) presented alteration of renal function.
Conclusions. Applying intravenous contrast to perform diagnostic studies does not increase the risk of contrast-induced nephropathy in hospitalized patients.
