Description Contrast media - induced nephropathy (CMIN) is an iatrogenic disorder, resulting from exposure to contrast media. With the growing number of diagnostic and interventional radiologic procedures in recent years, the prevalence of this order can be expected to increase.This article briefly tackles the currently known patophysiological mechanisms that lead to CMIN. There are the number of patient-related risk factors which increase the probability of its occurance after radiologic procedures, as the presence of diabetes mellitus, preexisting renal impairment and hypertension. In addition the development of contrast nephropathy is much more increased in patients with risk medication. The preventive measurs are mentioned in the article. Its very important to realise the possibility of occurence of CMIN and to prevent it also by the modification of influenceable risk factors, for example by the elimination of risk medication.
