Contrast volume to creatinine clearance ratio for the prediction of contrast-induced nephropathy in patients undergoing coronary angiography or percutaneous intervention
Conclusions
This is one of the largest studies evaluating the association between the V/CrCl ratio and the risk of contrast-induced nephropathy in patients undergoing coronary angiography or percutaneous coronary intervention. We found that a V/CrCl ratio >6.15 was independently associated with an increased risk of contrast-induced nephropathy.
