“Contrast nephropathy” in renal transplantation: Is it real?

Figure 1 Receiver operating characteristics curves for age, FK506 levels, daily Cellcept dose, baseline Cr, eGFR, and volume of IV contrast. Area under the curve (AUC) for age, FK506 levels, daily Cellcept dose, baseline creatinine, eGFR, and volume of IV contrast were 0.60, 0.64, 0.63, 0.57, 0.63, and 0.68, respectively[9].
