Incidence of Acute Kidney Injury After Administration of Iodine Contrast Media in Patients With Reduced Renal Function
Sweden400 participantsStarted 2024-01-24
Plain-language summary
This study is examining if injection of iodine contrast media increases the risk of acute kidney injury in patients with severely reduced renal function. All patients who have a medical need for a computerized tomography, either with or without iodine contrast media, and has a renal function of less than estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) 30 will be recruited. Blood and urine samples will be collected at baseline, three and 21 days after the computerized tomography. Additionally, we will examine if the decision to use iodine contrast media or not was easy or difficult if the use of iodine contrast media potentially changed the patient care and if it might have been lifesaving.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* eGFR \<30 mL/min/1.73m2, calculated with the revised Lund-Malmö formula and plasma creatinine.
* Medical need of either an ICM-enhanced or unenhanced CT
Exclusion Criteria:
* \<18 years of age
* Ongoing renal replacement therapy
* Ongoing treatment with nephrotoxic drugs. Drugs classified as nephrotoxic are acyclovir, aminoglycosides, ciclosporins, cisplatin, methotrexate, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (except low-dose aspirin) and vancomycin administered intravenously.
* Known allergy to ICM who and have not received prophylactic treatment (if patient belongs to ICM arm)
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
