The outcomes were AKI within 48-72 hours after CT, AKI within 48 hours to 1 week after CT, or further hemodialysis within 1 month after CT. Materials and Methods This retrospective study evaluated patients who underwent contrast-enhanced or unenhanced CT in five Taiwanese emergency departments between 20. Purpose To investigate whether intravenous contrast media administration during CT is associated with a higher risk of AKI and further hemodialysis compared with the risk in patients undergoing unenhanced CT. Background Although the historical risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) after intravenous administration of contrast media might be overstated, the risk in patients with impaired kidney function remains a concern.
