Injury to the kidney continues to occur following the administration of intravascular iodinated contrast media. In this article, the author reviews the pathophysiology of contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CIAKI), the relationship of CIAKI to long-term adverse outcomes, what type of patients are at risk of CIAKI, and how the diagnosis is made. After discussion of the reported incidence of CIAKI, an approach to prevention is briefly reviewed.
