INFLUENCE OF CONTRAST MEDIA ON RENAL FUNCTION DURING ENDOVASCULAIRE MYOCARDIAL REVASCULARIZATION

Abstract

Ballon angioplasty with coronary arteries stenting was performed in 56 renal allograft recipients (75 procedures). The influence of contrast media on renal graft function was investigated. Renal graft function was estimated by creatinine level 24 hour before and 48 hours after the intervention. Risk factors of contrast induced nephropathy (CIN) development at renal graft recipients are discussed. Mathematical approaches for calculation of risk of CIN development are analyzed.
