title: How to avoid CIN: guidelines from the European Society of Urogenital Radiology.
abstract: The Contrast Media Safety Committee of the European Society of Urogenital Radiology (ESUR) has looked at the effects of contrast media (CM) on the kidney including prevention of contrast medium-induced nephropathy (CIN) as well as at the possibility of identifying patients with increased risk of CIN nephropathy. This has resulted in five reports dealing with (i) serum creatinine; (ii) contrast medium-induced nephrotoxicity; (iii) haemodialysis and contrast media; (iv) use of gadolinium CM instead of iodinated CM; and (v) CM injection in diabetic patients receiving metformin. The review presents an overview of four of these five reports.
