Acute renal failure caused by low-osmolar radiographic contrast media in patients with diabetic nephropathy.
Four patients reacting with acute renal failure despite using low osmolar contrast media are reported. They all had diabetic nephropathy and renal insufficiency. A retrospective study of 75 consecutive patients examined with angiography showed that 13% had both of these two risk factors.
