Core Tip
Core Tip: Preventing contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is crucial for patients undergoing contrast-enhanced procedures, particularly those with preexisting renal or cardiovascular conditions. Although periprocedural hydration remains a fundamental preventive measure, emerging approaches such as RenalGuard and contrast removal systems are promising alternatives. Recent research has demonstrated that these innovative approaches have the potential to substantially improve CI-AKI prevention and patient outcomes. Staying updated on these advancements and incorporating them into clinical practice are essential for optimizing renal protection.
