Contrast Nephropathy

renal enhancement with contrast

This is a CT image of the abdomen that was taken 2 days after the administration of an intravenous contrast. The patient presented with a severe abdominal pain due to pancreatitis. Acute renal failure developed as a result of the acute tubular necrosis and IV contrast administration.

On the image above please note an excellent kidney enhancement with contrast, even though, it was given 2 days prior to this study.

The patient proceeded to develop multiple organs failure and, subsequently, died.
