  • Title: Acute renal failure after cerebral arteriography in a diabetic patient.
    Author: Weinrauch LA, Friedberg SR, D'Elia JA.
    Journal: Neuroradiology; 1977; 12(4):197-9. PubMed ID: 846645.
    Abstract:
    A case of acute renal failure after cerebral arteriography with iodinated contrast material in a patient with diabetes and azotemic nephropathy is described. A review of the literature concerning acute renal failure after radiographic contrast material is included. The main risk factors reported in the literature appear to be the presence of diabetic nephropathy and the administration of fairly large doses of iodinated contrast material. Azotemic patients should be kept well hydrated and receive doses of less than 50 cc/m2 of body surface area when studied with such materials. Careful monitoring of urinary output and serum creatinine and ready access to dialytic therapy will aid in the detection and subsequent treatment of this problem.
