Iodinated contrast media (CM) used in angiography and computed tomography (CT) scans is an important cause of acute kidney injury (AKI) in hospitalized patients undergoing surgery. Contrast-induced nephropathy leads to AKI soon after CM administration. The aim of the study was to determine whether the timing of contrast media exposure related to diagnostic imaging during the immediate perioperative period influences the risk of post-operative AKI.
