Get the free Contrast Induced – Acute Kidney Injury (ci-aki) Policy

This document outlines the protocols for identifying and preventing contrast induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) in patients requiring the administration of intravenous iodinated contrast for diagnostic imaging or invasive procedures. It includes guidelines for pre- and post-procedure hydration, risk factors for AKI, and specific recommendations based on patient kidney function.

How to fill out contrast induced acute kidney

1. Review the patient's medical history for risk factors such as diabetes, dehydration, or pre-existing kidney conditions.
2. Ensure the patient's hydration status is optimized before the procedure by administering IV fluids.
3. Obtain laboratory tests to assess baseline renal function, including serum creatinine and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR).
4. Choose the appropriate contrast agent based on the patient's kidney function and clinical situation.
5. Limit the volume of contrast medium used during imaging whenever possible.
6. Consider using alternative imaging methods that do not require contrast (e.g., MRI with non-contrast techniques).
7. Monitor renal function closely after the procedure with follow-up lab tests within 48-72 hours.
8. Provide post-procedure hydration and safely manage any potential side effects.

Who needs contrast induced acute kidney?

1. Individuals scheduled for imaging tests such as CT scans or angiograms that require contrast agents.
2. Patients with known renal conditions who need monitoring during procedures involving contrast.
3. High-risk populations, such as those with diabetes or prior history of contrast-induced nephropathy.
