Incidence of Contrast Nephropathy From Cerebral CT Angiography and CT Perfusion Imaging Neurol 64:1805-1806, Josephson,S.A.,et al, 2005 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract The incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy was examined in 1,075 patients receiving routine CT angiography and CT perfusion brain imaging at a single institution. Fifty-two patients had a creatinine rise of ?0.5 mg/dL. In four patients (0.37%), the administration of IV contrast medium possibly contributed to renal failure. Two patients (0.19%) received temporary hemodialysis during hospitalization. The incidence of contrast nephropathy in neurovascular patients is low.
